I've used both the Fairfield 80/20 and the Hobbs 80/20. I don't know about long term wear, but they both quilted beautifully. I found the fairfield a little easier to needle, I am a handquilter. I also think the fairfield shrunk a little bit more than the hobbs when I washed the finished quilt. I did wash in warm water and threw the finished quilts in the dryer. I didn't pre-measure so I couldn't say for sure, and it only seemed to be a little more crinkly than the hobbs. I just made a mental note that when I plan to use Fairfield to oversize the quilt an inch or two to compensate for the shrinkage.
