Default Flannel Batting

I have read that flannel is for a light summer quilt. I bought some flannel and am using it with a quilt top but it seems heavy. It isn't light. I guess it will be light weight for warmth? I hand quilt and it quilts easy but just seems like it is going to make a heavy quilt. Just for the record I have used all different kinds of batting and for me it looks like Dream Cotton or good old 80/20 is easy to use and easy to quilt. I have used Warm and Natural and liked it until I used Dream Cotton. I have used wool on two quilts and I like how easy the needle goes through and the puffiness but it slides on me. It doesn't grip the fabric like the other battings do and I have to be very careful not to get puckers in the back. So I would like opinions on the flannel batting and the batting of choice for you hand quilters and why?
