    I'll recommend foma papers, they make my favorite papers by far.
    My two standard papers are:
    Fomatone mg: a fantastic warm tone paper, but since you're not interested in warm tone papers, oh well, by the way it tones redish in selenium , which you may or may not like. This paper has a cream base, and is quite slow.

    Fomabrom 111: It is a graded paper but absolutely superb, and cheap too. It is neutral to slightly warm colored but on a white base. This paper is quite fast.

    I normally soup these in either lpd developer at 1+4 dilution, or these days ilford warmtone developer. But then I prefer a warmer look. For a more neutral look any dektol variation will do.
    For more neutral to colder tones, there is also fomabrom variant III (this is a multigrade paper). This is slower than fomabrom 111 but much faster than Fomatone mg.

    I'd just like to add that I have no connection with foma, I'm just a big fan of their papers.

    By the way if you want RC paper, Ilford muligrade RC IV deluxe is absolutely splendid.

    Hope I've been to some kind of help
    Best Regards
