"Carbon on cotton" is still hard to beat.  With pigments the substrate does
not make nearly the difference that it does with dyes.  For dyes, the
swellable emulsion papers are, in general, the most stable, but they may
still be an order of magnitude less stable than the best carbon pigments.

Epson UltraSmooth is about the best I've tested.  Premier Art Hot Press 205
appears to have the same coating.  So, it may be the best value in terms of
lightfastness for the price.
