its a matter of taste, and ease.

as you try different papers you may come to realize that you like a certain type better.

i like joker 1 1/4's as a basic paper, but i roll better with an ez wider 1 1/2 due to the fact i can roll it tighter cause there is more paper to roll up, but the taste is usually stronger of the paper.

there are flavored papers, which i personally think dont have much flavor, papers with prints on them, wider, longer papers, clear papers, hemp papers for those trying to be as "pure" with their papers. Thicker papers that dont rip as easily, different "glues", etc... there are a wide assortment of papers to choose from. Find one you like, and experiment from there.

and like i said, ez widers are cool, i like a nice tight joint, it just burns slower, so it wastes less in my opinion.
