Fancy or Plain paper?

Paper
Hi, I'll get the Paper topic started with this question:
Do you buy high-end or inexpensive paper?
I am betting it depends on whether you write letters, or instead do a lot of writing for your own use.
I use my FPs at work taking notes, copious notes of meetings, phone calls, etc. I am the only one who will see these notes, anything for company view gets transferred to electronic documents. So it doesn't matter if the paper is nice or not. I am picky about paper, however - I need to doodle a lot in boring meetings, and I hate for my drawings to bleed through! So I purchase my own legal pads and bring them to work with me.
What do you use your pens for and does that influence what type of paper you use?
Bye for now...

What legal pads do you use?

Those Everyman journals look nice if you like a hardbound book. I've seen the Red & Black ones at Staples - they seem to have good quality paper.
I prefer a spiral-bound book because you can fold it open, lately I've been experimenting with the Rollabind system - it's like Levenger's Circa only 10X cheaper. I like being able to swap out pages.
My favorite legal-type pad is the Ampad Gold Fibre with a translucent purple cover.

What legal pads do you use?
I use a variety of paper. The main special paper that I use is the Crane 3x5 cards that I put in my jotter. I also have a Moleskine that I've never used. Not sure why.
I've thought about getting one of these "Everyman's Journals":

and I've also heard about some black and red journals.
