Digital BW, The Print

There is a lot of traffic on the list about trying this paper and that.

What I'd be interested in knowing is what paper do people consider their
favorite?

I understand that in some cases it depends on what you are using it for and how
you are printing it, but even if it's a qualified answer I think it would be
interesting to know.

I'll start the thread by stating that I print black and white using 'black only'
on an Epson 1270. The paper I use the most is Epson Matte Heavyweight. The price
is good and the image is OK, but I'd like something with a bit more permanence.

I tried a sample of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag and while I liked the image, the
surface flaked so badly I wouldn't think of using it.

Any comments?
