Those are just some that I like, but here really are many. A lot of people
like Somerset Enhanced, Eclipse Satin, and many more. It can be very
confusing and daunting. You need to get a sample pack or two to begin with
just to narrow down what you don't like. Once you get a feel for how "white"
a paper you like, and how much texture, then you can get fussy and nit pick
between similar papers. But you won't go wrong with any that I mentioned.

Enjoy
