I am a fan of Red River paper, but Moab and Hahnemühle make great paper, too. They all sell sample packs, so you should avail yourself of those, and print the same image or two on different papers.

If you are limited to 16x20, I'm a huge fan of Epson Watercolor paper. wonderful texture and detail.

What printer do you have?

That's what I thought. Look at Mpix, Bayphoto, Millerslab. There are many others. Google for local vendors.

FWIW: you'll get very little selection of paper from most vendors. They all tend to use the same thing, since it sells.

Some labs will provide test prints, too, when you create an account.

IMNSHO you should consider matte paper as well as lustre and glossy for your landscapes.
