If I were going to make some parts that were going to be couplers, rather than threading the pen material itself, what would be the preferred material, or what combination of materials, i.e. would one be plastic, and one metal? or both a type of plastic or nylon?

I would go for metal pen threads and a plastic/nylon sleeve in the cap section. This way the metal on the pen looks good and matches the nib section and the plastic in the cap gives you a smooth soft feel and tight fit.
 
What everyone else says....now that I think about it every 'kit' pen I can think of uses metal threads for the nib and plastic for the cap (or a few use plastic on both....).
