I have experimented with just about every batting type there is (but not every brand). Based on price and "drape", I commonly use warm & natural or Hobbs 80-20. For a luxurious feel, I like bamboo, for a little more loft and lightweight, I choose wool. I've got some silk blend that is waiting for a good opportunity. I cannot stand to touch polyester, nor do I like puffy, so I never buy it. One other thing I pay attention to is quilting distance and will choose Warm & Natural if I know I want something more sparsely quilted.
