Are these nibs suitable for copperplate calligraphy? If so, which holder is recommended?

Not only do they work for copperplate, they are probably the most widely used nib by professional calligraphers. They are definitely the most "forgiving" and quite enjoyable. I include one installed in every custom pen holder that I sell.

Are all 10 nibs the same? Or are there different types in this pack?

All 10 are the same. It's pretty much a set that'll last you a life-time in the sense of needing to replace your nibs every once in a while.

Are these Nibs comparable to Nikko G nibs?

Yes, very similar to Nikko G. This zebra G nib may be slightly more flexible than the Nikko. I have been using this nib for copperplate calligraphy and it's my favorite nib so far.

Are there wax/oil on the nibs? I heard some nibs have that.

There is a thin oil on the tip of the pen just brand new. So, if you wash lightly with soap, oil will fall and will not drop oil when you write. Yes, please wipe the pen tip frequently during use (to prevent sticking of ink) And wash thoroughly after use, wipe off moisture thoroughly with a tissue etc., remove it from the pen shaft pleaese (because moisture tends to remain on the pinched part) Then save it.
