I would suggest the Canson sample pack, the Hahnemuhle matte sample pack, and the Epson Signature sample pack. Apart from anything else, they give you a reference point.
And you probably don't do dry mounting either, so outsourcing canvas printing would probably be better for you. Since you display without glazing, canvas doesn't take well to the standard T-hinge mounting that is used for paper prints - it sags.
But look at the textured fine art paper selection, there are some mighty fine papers there. Everything from traditional watercolor papers like Arches Aquarelle (sold by Canson in its inkjet coated form); Canson BFK Rives, a traditional velvet printing paper, Hahnemuhle German Etching, Hahnemuhle Museum Etching, and many, many more.
You might be suprised at how texture can add to an image rather than detract.

You have never given me anything buy excellent advice. I will order some of these and give them a try.
I have made major strides in post processing thanks to help recieved here. I am going through the archives and reprocessing some dramatic scenes from years past that had issues, especially DR, I now have ways to make these images work and would like to print some of them. Unfortunately, some are from an 8 mpixel 20D so a bit short on pixels for 16x24.
Edit after doing some research.
1. I have done sample packs in the past and have several Hahnemulle samples, albeit printed already with older processing. Still, enough to have something to look at.
2. Epson does not seem to have 24x36 paper in the types I would be interested in.
3. Canson is worth a look and I will order a pack.
