What glossy-type papers do you tried, and what would you recommend?

I have to order some paper to take with me to Bangkok and was thinking 
of getting a couple of rolls Epson Premium Semi-Matte (only available 
in rolls) and some packages of A4-sized Epson Premium Luster.

What is Epson Semi-Gloss like, or is it the same as the Lustre?

Ugh. But I suppose if I start with #1, and wait a while something may 
develop in terms of either improved Matte Black or improved matte paper.
