I generally go for the cheapest thing I can find - with one stipulation, the paper has to be able to at least hold graphite without smearing too much. Otherwise I find the cheaper they are the more weird my sketches become, as i'm not worried about 'ruining' a nice piece of white paper. Brand is not an issue - I find that if i have a strathmore i'm more hesitant to use it than my el cheapo black chip/craft board cover notebook that I bought at half the price.
Funny how psychology works like that.
And for you eco-freaks:
We have a coil binder where I work with a healthy stock of coils. So what i've been doing is recycling the best of our used laser print stock-not the best paper for sketching, does not hold graphite particularly well and smudges like crazy-coil binding it myself. Again, maybe not the best paper but for free you really can't beat it.
