Since you're going to use a densitometer and IJC I would definitely go
for the Ultratones. It's the most reasonably priced inkset available for
the 2200, it's well supported on this list and I can't really see that
it has any disadvantage compared to any other inkset.

Bronzing remains a problem with any of the inksets and papers available.
I much prefer the look of coated matte prints for really deep blacks,
although that introduces its own set of problems (dust, uneven coating).
A Mayer Rod is on my shopping list for the near future.

I'm using the Ultratones with custom curves and the Epson driver.

I've seen several CIS options for the 2200, but all of them were
pre-filled. Seems like there's still no virgin empties available for the
2200. You can clean and refill Epson carts though, it's not that hard. 

I wouldn't use a CIS myself. I want to be able to easily switch between
color and BW.
