Delta pegs are frequently recommended on this site but rarely for backpacking because of the bulk. They are really for car camping and larger tents.
Alpkit do a good range of tent pegs and the red ones are easy to find in long grass, heather and such.

The Candy Canes are good pegs and you won't bend them with your hands but a wider peg is better in peaty ground.
Overall my favourite backpacking tent pegs are the ones that Wild Country supply with their tents. They work on most pegging points, they grip well and they are a good size.

The yellow plastic pegs, e.g. Vango, work well on soft ground and I just take a couple for my guys if I expect stronger winds. The 20cm length is fine for a backpacking tent.
How many pegs do you need? How many of that is for guys and how many for pegging loops? And do any pegging points need pin pegs to go through small holes?
