What is your preference? And why?

I handquilt and strongly prefer a wool batting. I still want to try silk sometimes. Bamboo cotton and other plant type fibers do not interest me. They tend to be more difficult to needle but work well for machine quilting. Guess that is why we have such variety, to meet specific needs.
