Default Favorite batting for hand quilting

I finished my granny square quilt and am clueless as to how to FMQ it. So I decided to try to hand quilt it. This will be my first attempt at hand quilting. I already know that I will be doing the big stitch method (I think that is the right name). I will use a good grade of muslin for the backing, something in white so the thread won't be noticeable on the back and show off my many mistakes. LOL!! I know my stitches will be far from perfect but I want to give it a try.

So, on to my question. Which batting do you all prefer for handquilting? I have mainly used Warm and Natural for my quilts and have used polyester batting sometimes also. I love the warmth of W&N and also love the poof of polyester. I will most likey be using a hoop for holding the quilt. And I bought Mettler spray basting to baste it.

Any other tips or suggestions for hand quilting newbie will be so appreciated!!!!
