Default String Quilts - Paper, stabilizer, fabric or None?

Been thinking about making a string quilt. I am considering the pros and cons of using a:
1. Foundation paper (extra labor tearing off)
2. Leave in stabilizer ( Expensive)
3. Fabric ( expensive and heavier) Maybe harder to quilt
4. None of the above. (Less control and can stretch easier)

Also, as I would want to use varying widths of strips, having to quilt each strip separately could be a nightmare. But using only a Juki 2010Q might have a hard time going over all those seams with an all over design. Have you tried more than one method? What was your takeaway of each method? What did you do about the quilting?
Thanks in advance for your input.
