hobbs heirloom cotton or 80/20 is my favorite for hand quilting- i also love the dream wool batt- but it is a bit (loftier)
but the hobbs cotton batts are really nice to work with-
also mountain mist batts are pretty much for hand quilting-

I know alot of folks disagree but I use Warm & Natural (or white). I don't seem to have any issues with it but then again, I've not used anything else so really don't have anything to compare to. But I can needle it just fine. Even with the batiks I'm currently handquilting.

I am using Hobbs poly-down on the quilt I am currently hand quilting. My first time using this batting and it is really easy to quilt. Will probably use again. Currently Connecting Threads has batting on sale.
