I use the Quilter's Dream-Select regularly, and I agree that it's the closest to the Hobbs 80/20, but I much prefer it, as it is so soft and has a really nice drape. Don't get me wrong, I love the Hobbs too, but prefer more cotton and it still gives a nice definition to your stitches. I find the "Request" too thin for my liking. My local quilt shop had samples of each of their battings actually stitched, and that's how I decided which one I preferred.
