Digital BW, The Print

Any chance I can get group members' opinions on which Epson papers are 
most archival when displayed under glass and printed with UT inks please?    
I'm trying to retain the look of a photograph, so less texture is better.  
(Although, I really like the character of the deep, saturated blacks possible 
with inks.)

I've read about flaking and other issues with non-OEM papers.  Is this just as 
much an issue with Epson papers?  They charge an awfully high price for 
their papers.   Are there other brands of paper that are better or more 
economical that members prefer?  

Thanks,

peter
