Two? Try about a dozen. Went through fairly extensive testing with the iPad and found that the findings there hold up fairly well for the Kindle Fire. Jessica is correct that the biggest differences show up in drawing and handwriting. Otherwise, it's more a matter of what "feels right" in you hand.
For drawing/writing, the best styluses I've found are from a small internet company (iFaraday.com). They come from a guy in Ohio, I believe, and he has an excellent reputation for standing behind his products and his 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The iFaraday styluses use a conductive fabric tip that has virtually no "drag" when writing. And the "SALT" model is especially good for writing at an acute angle. The tips are relatively small compared to most other styluses and you can choose among a variety of models to suit your preferences.
The only stylus I'd recommend against is the Jot Pro from Adonit. It has a very fine "point" that contacts the screen and a transparent plastic "collar" that makes the broader contact point required by a capacitive screen. Unfortunately, it suffers from "missed strokes" so often that it's almost useless on the Kindle Fire.
