For White with Copics, I use Hammermill Color Copy Cover and / or Neenah. For colored, I tend to go with Bazzill cardstock. The textures are amazing,and the color selection great. I love the Raven in black. that is probably the only one I can definately (sp???) tell you.
I do think it depends on what coloring medium you use, but here's my preferences: Stampin' Up for colored cardstock, Papertrey Ink for white, cream, and shimmer, Bazzill for textured and black. I don't recommend Stampin' Up for black card stock, it's got a purple tint. I buy online at papertreyink, andscrapbookexpress.
Oh, and right now my go-to colors are Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip and Rose Red. Although now that spring is around the corner I will probably start using lighter colors like Certainly Celery.
Another vote for Stampin' Up! colored cardstock! SU!'s white and vanilla are fine for layers, but for card base white and cream, I use Papertrey Ink, which I purchase on-line. I use SU's glossy card stock and cardstock weight vellum.
My go-to colors from SU! are many. In reds, I like Real Red and Riding Hood Red. My favorite pinks are Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose. So Saffron makes a great card base. In earth tones I use lots of Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive. Celery, Bashful Blue, and Baja Breeze are favorites too! Oh, in the fall I really use a lot of More Mustard and Pumpkin Pie. I guess I just love SU! colored card stock and the matching designer papers! :-D
My favorite cardstocks are Papertrey and Bazzill for colors and Strathmore for white.
I buy either online, at Xpedx/Arvey, or at my local scrapbook store.
I don't use glossy cardstock so I don't really have a preferred brand to recommend.
My go-to colors are probably Papertrey's Kraft, Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, and Pure Poppy, Strathmore's Ultimate White 110lb (they have a few different weights, but this is my favorite), and Bazzill's Bazzill Brown, Chiffon, and Stonewashed.
I buy SU colored card stock, and Georgia Pacific 110lb white or SU whisper white. I'd love to try Papertrey ink white or Gina K luxury, just haven't gotten around ordering any yet.
My go to SU colores are:
green: Kiwi kiss (will retire in July) and green galore
blue: bashful blue, tempting turquoise
reds/pinks: real red, rose red, pink pirhouette (or pretty in pink)
brown: chocolate chip
yellow: so saffron
purple: lavender lace
There is another line of textured cardstock, called Basix. It is cheaper than Bazzill and there are great colors too like: dutch orang, mango, vanilla, calm, baby blue, robins egg, minty, dreamy.
