I use Warm & Natural and hand quilt. I don't have an issue with it but it is difficult to do stitch in the ditch but I think that's the case no matter which batting. I like natural fibers (cotton/wool/silk) as they breathe and can be used year round. I do not have a made-by-me quilt on my bed at this point, but all my bed coverings are 100% cotton and I do not change them during the course of the year. They keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. That said, some people I have gifted quilts to say they are a bit heavy/warm for summer with the W&N batting. A friend uses Quilters Dream 100% cotton. Does have a nicer drape at the outset - not sure about after washing if there's really much of a difference. Just my 2 cents.
