Hi all. I've posted sever posts in my journey to paper negative heaven and I have one more.

I'm looking at Freestyle and the large size papers that they carry. I will be photographing 11x14, 16x20, 12x20, and 20x24 so those are the paper sizes I'll usually be needing. Of their selection I'm interested in knowing which papers you all with paper negative experience prefer. Below is a list of the paper's available in the sizes I need, if you could chime in and offer your insight it would be very appreciated. Also, I'm pretty much only looking at RC because of the transparency.

Ilford RC Papers - probably most common but more expensive

Kentmere Select VC RC - supposedly 1-stop faster then most papers

Foma

Arista

Adox


Thanks for the help!
