R800 so far:

Epson Premium Glossy - a color image printed excellent with Gloss Optimizer
Epson Premium Glossy - B&W - color cast when printed color/Gloss Optimizer
Epson Premium Luster - B&W - much less color cast/no Gloss Optimizer 
- very slight bronzing
Epson Enhanced Matte - B&W - no color cast - a very good looking print

I'm using all kinds of color and monochrome, chromogenic and 
traditional B&W, but all 400 speed, my max scan resolution is 2770, 
and the 5760 dpi of the R800 has been impessive.

Still testing mainly for prints for book publication, I haven't come 
close to consensus myself.
