I've used the printasiafun satin, Epson Premium Glossy, Epson Glossy Paper Photo Weight(archival) and Ilford Gallerie Smooth Gloss before. The Epson Premium Glossy and Ilford Gallerie Smooth Glossy give the best appearance in terms of detail and contrast.
The Epson Premium Glossy has a slightly smoother surface, but I'd rather take the Ilford at $19/25 instead of $24/20 for the Epson.
Ilford can be bought from Ruby Photo.
