Default going "batty"

I am making a very special quilt and want a soft, light weight drape. I have done searches and read almost every post on this board trying to decide on the batt. I want something a little softer and lighter than Warm and Natural. I had decided on wool and then read that there are problems with odor when it is wet and shrinkage in the dryer. Lost focus and ended up reading a lot about "green" batting made from recycled bottles - fumes?? I have used Dream Puff and it was a challenge to quilt. My top has a lot of black and I'm also concerned about bearding. How do I decide? This is not an experiment, I need to get it right the first time.
I have been reading previous post from all of you on the board because I trust your advice. Thank you for your input.
