While, I don't normally trust Yahoo! as an authoritative news source (it is a great source for celebrity gossip!) their most recent article about resumes is rather interesting.
Yahoo! 10 Resume Rules
Rule #10, Resume Paper, is really timely, as I just printed copies of my resume for the conference I went to in Minneapolis. I couldn't really find much information on-line about whether to use regular paper or "fancy" paper, so I erred with tradition and got Kinko's to print my resume on heavy-duty resume paper. I choose a standard bright-white paper, not much thicker than regular copy paper.
I'm happy with my choice, the cost of professional printing was not too terribly expensive. I feel that while on-line applications and PDFs copies are increasingly becoming the norm, during this early transition time, it is important to rely on some of the standard traditions.
