What kind of paper do you use for your laser?

I'm out of paper for my laser printer, does anyone have any recommendations for a restocking?

What's the BEST all-around laser paper for stuff like basic/nice school reports? I don't want anything too fancy, but 24 pound is a necessity, and no higher than 28 is desired. Acid-free is nice. High brightness (like 98 or so) is also nice, but I've noticed that few paper-makers go up that high. So is grain quality. I also don't want paper that will curl too much.

Prior to running out, I was using this stuff (IBM) and it wasn't bad. But it wasn't great. I've heard that Hammermill is supposed to be the best, but their stuff isn't too bright. What about HP and some other brands?

Also, if possible, please recommend paper that can be bought at a regular Staples or OfficeMax or Walmart or something.

Thanks in advance!

For normal printing I have HP printing paper for the laser jet.. if the printout has to be more refined, I have two different stocks
One of them is a cotton stock from Hammermill, its thicker, not white, but a slight yellow tinge, the paper has a smoother side and a rough side. You print on the smooth side.

The other stock is a white premium stock that is heavy duty but has a satin finish to it.

Regular Georgia Pacific copy paper from work ;)

It works fine but sometimes I wish it were brighter.
