Cell sorb is the best for controlling odors, but it can be dusty as it breaks down, and is very heavy. Cypress works well, but its hard to find a grade that isn't full of potentially hazardous sharp splinters. Newspaper is almost impossible to spot clean when time is short, and is unnaturally smooth for a snake to crawl on.

Used em all, but I've found that in my collection, aspen has none of the above shortcomings. It's not perfect, but it's damn close. I use L/M, which is so finely-milled that it's almost fluffy, with no splinters.
