For most piecing, I use Connecting Threads -- my machines all like it, and you can't beat the price. Also, I use a lot of dark grey or navy blue for piecing (on darks) and a butter/cornsilk color for piecing on lights. If you've ever had to "un"sew on black fabric, you'll appreciate how easy it is to see the navy or grey against the black background.
