I like white office paper because 1. it is always available, 2. it can be made into a square easily, 3. it folds nicely for an easy/intermed origami model. 4. it is relatively cheap
When I am teach origami to a beginner, I like to use paper that is different in color from front and back. To be able to distinguish between back and front helps with following diagrams. I often cut used-paper into squares, the side with the text on it would be the "back side" and the side with no writing on it would be the "front side". It's cheaper than origami paper, it saves the environment, and it is easily accessible.
