your question is interesting
I was faced with the same dilemma
I had Arches Platine on hand which I suspected would work well
but it is not cheap
so I purchased some water-colour paper which was on sale at Curry's in Toronto
Canson Aquarelle
and I was surprised how well it worked
probably just lucky….
