Best glasses to drink Germany beers?

If you can choose, which kind of glasses do you prefer to drink Munich Helles and Dortmunder Export beers? The Pilsner glass, the liter (or half-liter) glass, or something else?

I like the Willi Becher type glasses for most every German beer except Weissbier. In particular for Helles and Export this is the glass you would get in a restaurant. At least a few years back. Now different breweries want to distinguish themselves with their glassware.

Kai's suggestion is EXACTLY the way they serve those beers in Germany. get a few of those and you'll be quite happy.

+1 on the willibecker. I ordered a couple of the ayinger glasses from merchant du vin. They're always the first glass that's used.
