I use three different options - my favourite has always been the satin finish as you get the depth of colour and clarity but not so shiny - and I like the weight - apart from that I would use glossy for toppers and if I want the depth of colour for backing papers.

My last choice is 160gsm paper from Staples - this is completely matt and sometimes lacks the oomph in colour that photo papers give but it is really really cheap and that is sometimes something that matters and the 160 weight means it is pretty good in comparison to copy paper etc - never try that as it soaks up the ink and gives a crummy result!
