inkjet papers choices for 2011

[froyd]

I'm stuck a few generations back with inkjet paper choices and I'm not fully aware of what's new and improved.

I have been using InkjetArt Micro Ceramic Luser for everyday printing due to the low cost and decent quality, and for nicer prints I used Museo Silver Rag. I hear the choice in baryta papers has expanded and the offerings are much better than Museo was, so I'm definitely looking for a replacement there. perhaps Ilford Gallerie Gold Fiber Silk? Maybe there's something more advanced?

I also would like to consider a replacement for the Micro Ceramic Luster. I would like something with a low price, pearl/satin/luster finish, possibly with profiles for the Epson R3000 and with less OBA than the Inkjetart paper.

Any recommendations to bring me up to speed with the times and the technology?

I haven't been able to go past Ilford Gold Fibre Silk and their Smooth Gallery Pearl. The Pearl in particulay is a very white paper and gives a black and white image a very different look the Silk ... I like them both though and haven't really ventured away from them.
