Digital BW, The Print

Actually EAM is very good at its price point although its 
archivability is probably overstated. It's surprisingly very white 
(relative to the yellowish cast of the Photo Glossy which is mediocre 
for B and W Digital) and the Epson inks print very decently (but 
still not rich enough blacks) on it with my C80.

Although EAM is very cheap to print out. It doesn't use up the inks 
as much as the horrific Photo Glossy and it is rather durable as a 
print.

I have samples of the Photo Rag and it's fabulous. It's whiter than 
EAM in my opinion (by a slight margin) but it's more expensive. I 
suspect that it's from much cleaner stock than the Hahnemuhe version 
but you pay for it in terms of number of sheets. It's worth for those 
special prints! :)
