My favorite is also the Hobbs 80cotton/20poly. It quilts easily hand or machine, drapes nicely and isn't as heavy as warm & natural. I have used w&n on several quilts, but it is a little more difficult to hand quilt thru and feels lots heavier when laying on you. I have used polys also, but don't like the bearding from 100% poly. Don't use wool - allergic. Haven't tried bamboo, but with their hollow fibers that grab & hold water, don't expect I will (just don't have triple the time and space to dry a quilt because of bamboo batting).
