Just ordered a code 104 key with zealios. What keycaps should I look into?
I didn't want to go the route of custom just yet, I'm too noob, but I still wanted to use the zealios (or something better than standard cherry MX. I'm coming from browns, so it was topre or zealios). The one downside I hear about with the code is the keycaps are average. I don't want to let the switches down with less than excellent keycaps so... What advice would you give a noob like me on high end keycaps (disregarding price)? I care about feel over looks.

We'd need to know what "feel" your looking for. Different Plastics and manufacturers will have different textures and feeling.
GMK and Signature Plastics (Pimpmykeyboard.com) produce really nice ABS caps (SP also does PBT sets). Maxkeys is well regarded, as is enjoyPBT.
Oh boy. I feel like this is yet another rabbit hole for me to figure out. I guess I want something that has a 'distinct' feel. Not too smooth or slippery. Is textured a thing?
It sure is.
The truth is, your just gonna have to try multiple sets and materials to find what you like. I've only ever had shitty ABS or inexpensive PBT, so I'm the wrong person to ask.
If you want textured keycaps get DSA profile caps
You can also find some oem and cherry profile caps that are textured
