I would be wary of using heavy paper in such a book. Most ofthe surface texture of the print will be lost behind the acetate and the heavy weight will bulk out the book too much. You dont want to make this discovery once you've done all the prints! I'm sure there are many others but I would recommend the Forte 230gm matt. Looks great with Fotonic inks. Available from Silverprint.
