Thanks Roy! 
 
I think that's the authoritative answer I was hoping for.

The Media Type is a hold-over from gimp-print.  It potentially could be
used for "physical" properties of the paper such as thickness, platen gap,
and feeding issues.  From what I've observed I don't think this is ever used.
I think all the current printers are pretty automatic for these things in their
default mode.  Unfortunately this area of the Epson documentation is vague
to non-existent. 

I'm sure it doesn't effect the QTR profiles -- ink limits and such.  At the
moment I just leave it always on Matte Paper.
