Hi, I would like to hear your advice regarding the right brazing rods to use to braze carbide tips to a holder.

A bronze brazing rod similar to Harris LFB (low fuming bronze),
or as @Nutfarmer suggested, Silver brazing rods.
Either will produce great results

Buy the sheet silver solder from mcmaster, then Flux it ,wrap it in foil and heat it.

The real stuff is a sandwich of thin copper with silver solder on both sides, this is how the manufacturers do it, when I worked for Kaiser steel, they made up brazed carbide tools with 1" shanks for facing and beveling the line pipe that they manufactured, the shanks were machined with a step, all the parts were degreased with trichloroethylene swabbed with flux and heated from the bottom with a torch with a pressure bar holding the carbide blank down, when the silver solidified they were put in a insulated box to cool. After I left, they got an induction heating setup, which was a much better way of doing the heating.

Similar to the way B&O did it.
Some where around here I have a square of the sheet. I don't know the exact composition.
That was thirty years or so ago.
They had retired employees working part time doing the work..
It was like a social outing to them...
..now I understand a little better.
Oh and the soldering too
