My suggestion is to get a roll of Rives BFK and work from there; it is a good all-around paper for printing and drawing. Look for paper sample kits at Dan Smith and other sellers; the samples in these kits are small, but definitely big enough for trials.
New York Central Art Supply is the top US paper source; they can offer their recommendations too:

If you can get into a printmaking class (or even visit one for a short conversation) you can get help from the teacher.
Don’t be afraid to use info on paper selection from the classic texts on printmaking; the best papers have really not changed– it’s the books (and the printing inks) that go in and out of fashion, not the printmaking papers!
Too many rag and other fibers (Japanese papers) to go into here. Enjoy!

bridog, is this the thread you referred to?

thanks Karen for providing the link to that thread
for some reason I thought someone might have posted an actual list (probably me). However now that I think of it that list was books on printmaking and probably not papers. Anyhow I can add a few more papers since that thread was published. These are ones I am familiar with using based on my studio experiences. I will put what techniques work best beside each and where you can purchase them.

Japanese sketch paper – Blick Art Materials – a thin Japanese made kozo paper used for sumi ink painting but works quite well for relief and silkscreen printing

Magnani Revere – Blick Art Materials, Graphic Chemical, Daniel Smith (?) – all purpose Italian milled economical rag 250 gm that comes in three finishes

Maidstone – Curry’s Art Supplies (Canada) – economical all purpose 250 gm rag made in Holland. This paper may be supplied soon through Speedball/Akua so it may show up in the stock of various US based retailers.

Somerset letterpress (book weight) – 115 gm and 175 gm british made thin rag – this works very well for relief. It will also accept water based media like watercolour. It is ideal for hand printing applications when a press isn’t possible. I sourced some a while ago through Above Ground Art Supplies based in Toronto Canada. I have not seen it listed in Blicks selection of papers. It appears that Graphic Chemical in Chicago retail it in the US. https://www.graphicchemical.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=377&cat=Somerset+Book

speaking of Graphic Chemical they have an extensive array of papers listed:

finally one last paper worth mentioning:
about 3 years back I discovered a heavy bamboo paper (acid free) made by Awagami mills in Japan. It is really only usable for relief and silkscreen as there isn’t much sizing. It has a beautiful soft silk like texture and natural deckle edges on two sides. I am not sure this is the same one I purchased here in Canada but Graphic Chemical have a bamboo rag listed:
