What type of beef is best for meatballs?

Ground beef works best.

Can I use Panko instead of regular breadcrumbs?

Yes, you can. I actually use Panko in these most of the time because I rarely have breadcrumbs in my cupboard.

Do you have to use breadcrumbs?

You do need some sort of breadcrumbs, panko or cracker crumbs in meatballs because they help hold the meatball together.
