Yes you need a special atomizer for the tank and atomizer setup.

There's the eGo type A and B tank atomizers, which use the type A and B tanks.
The eGo C type A and B atomizers, which use the same tanks.
The 510-T atomizer which uses the 510-T tanks.
The 901-T atomizer which uses the same tanks as the 510.
And the 801-T atomizer and tanks. I've read the 801 tanks are compatible with one of the eGo systems, but I don't know which.

All but the 801 and 901 will work fine on the Riva without an adapter. I used to use the 901 and 510 systems, and the 901 seemed to give better flavor. I've heard the eGo tank systems leaked constantly, but I have no experience with them.

Value Vapor has a number of tank systems for every model, and they're very affordable.

As for whether they're better than a drip tip, that's up to the individual. Direct dripping gives a stronger throat hit and better flavor than the tank and atty, but I preferred the ease of use more and the taste was better than a carto or clearo. But that's just my opinion.

I believe you need a 510-T atty to use the tanks.

Although I swear I have seen a tank-like cartridge that has a bit of fiber at the end closest to the atty that can be used with a regular atty. Don't recall where.
There's a youtube video that talks about that cartridge you describe

So basically, I get me some Riva 510-T attys, and some 510-T carts?

That's pretty much it. It was pretty much my only method of vaping before I stopped using manuals, and I really enjoyed it. But once you pierce the plug on one of the tanks you can't keep it filled anymore unless you have some unused plugs to seal it. Health Cabin sells the plugs at .35 a box, but you're paying for shipping from China.

What do you mean you can't keep the filled once you pierce the plug. Do they leak? Flood the atty?
