In most cases you'll burn through your iron tools faster than you'll aquire the iron to remake them. Keep an Iron pickaxe around for digging out gold and diamond only.
To quote one of those pages:
1. ALWAYS use tools. Stone shovels are roughly double hands. Stone hatchets are about 3 times as fast as hands, and stone pickaxes are about 60% faster than wood
2. Unless you are super tight on inventory space, don't use diamond. Its not worth the minor speed gain.
3. Iron is your best bet for speed vs. durability. Yet usually you use more than you gain when spelunking, so be careful.
4. Stone is by far the most efficient tool. I suggest making most tools out of stone, as you will have more than enough of it.
I personally make shovels out of iron, as I get 128 uses for only 1 iron. That seems to be a fair trade for me. The other tools, I normally stick with stone.
Also, the strangest observation for me was that both glass AND leaves get "cut" faster with WEAPONS, but not any kind of tools... Hatchets lose "normal" durability for leaves (as if hatchets are made for them) yet they don't cut the leaves any faster than hands... Whereas weapons all go faster on leaves, yet they lose double durability.
