Default Hand quilting - what kind of thread?

I am a new member of this forum and a self-taught quilter (what would I do without the internet! ). I was browsing through the forum and it seems that most people are using a sewing machine to piece and quilt their quilts. But I'm sure there are some hand quilters out there, too... What kind of thread do you use? For the quilting, I found Coats Dual Duty Plus Hand Quilting thread and it seems quite nice to me (without having anything else to compare it with...). What do you use to piece? It's probably a waste to use the hand quilting thread for piecing... Can I just use any cheap thread or should it better be good quality?
