I didn't find the SU cardstock to work very well with the Copic's. I have the Papertrey Cardstock and it works great with the Copic's. I also use the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
My personal favorite is GP from Walmart ~ I find Papertrey a bit too thick~ for me it seems to suck a lot of ink out of my markers... that said ~ I love the PaperTrey papers ~ lovely colors...

I agree. The only downside, from what I've read, is that it does soak up the ink a tad more, so it will take more out of your marker. It's not a big deal, but just something I've heard said. I use GP for pretty much all my images and coloring, saving my PTI CS (which is thick) for the bases. But PTI is very good with Copics....
I have had good luck using Whisper White, but I am really new to the whole copic thing. You can check out my blog for some cards: http://scrappinangler.blogspot.com

I have been using the SU Whipser White with the Copic's but have not been happy with the final results after seeing some of the beautiful cards I've been seeing on people's blogs. I just could not get the Copic's to blend well. This evening I went to Walmart and purchased a package of the Georgia Pacific White Card Stock 110 lb. and absolutely LOVE it!!! Cheap too....$6.00. The Copic's blend so nice and no bleeding from the ink.
The only thing I don't like about the Georgia Pacific cardstock is that it's a very dingy white. Almost a greyish tint. If you hold it up to Whisper White you can really tell. That's my only complaint about it.
Eureka....I found the best paper. I went to buy a couple more Copic pens today at a store called Art Systems in Orlando and the store had pads of paper called Manga Artist Pad that is recommended for Copics. I bought a pad and love it. Much better than the Georgia Pacisfic I bought at Walmart the other night. It is very bright white and the Copics slide beautifully around on the paper and the ink soaks in so nicely.

Ok, I bought the GP paper from Walmart and i have found that the colors 'feather' and bleed outside my stamped image ruining it. Anyone else having this problem or am I doing something wrong? I think I might go back to WW...or buy some PTI paper.
