Default Types of Batting

I have been quilting for about 10 years now, I have pretty much always used the same type of batting. I think I am currently using Hobbs 80/20.

I am thinking I want to use some of the wool batting, however, wool directly against my skin breaks me out really bad. But if it was inside the quilt layers would it have the same effect?

Is it really warmer and heavier....I am wanting heavier....I can make the quilt in flannel or fleece and have it heavier...but I don't think that is what I am going for....but that is because I haven't found the flannel I like yet to make the pattern I want to.

Any suggestions or ideas on batting would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!
