Moab and Hahnemuhle make great papers and also have good quality control but I find their coatings not as durable overall and the brighter papers have dye brighteners. Hahnemühle’s new metallic paper is very unique and cool and their Museum Etching is one fine paper.

I've been trying to simplify things in terms of paper types as I'm not doing quite as much printing these days. I've not noticed any issues with the coatings on Moab Entrada or Juniper Baryta Rag papers (the two main papers I print on). Canon just did a firmware update for the Pro-1000 and have a new setting for Baryta papers and I have to re-profile Juniper Baryta. It will be interesting to see what difference there is. I still have a box of Canson Plantine and can do a direct comparison between the two papers. The surfaces are quite similar. I have done a little bit of reproduction work over the years for some local artists and the Hahnemuhle textured papers are always the top choice. I've not seen any other brand that comes close.
