For me, it has to be Leuchtturn1917's 120g/m³. Also like Rhodia, though it's a bit thin for my preference. Happy to hear you guys' suggestions for a slightly heavier (let's say 100g/m³ and above) paper, either loose leaf or in a notebook.
Leuchtturm1917 for me. 80gsm also. And Midori/Traveler's notebook paper. I forgot if that's the same as the Tomoe River Paper. Those are my favourites
Where I live these better papers are prohibitively expensive to get a hold of and aren't stocked anywhere, so I usually go to the nearest Asian store and look at their notebooks. Even the cheaper ones tend to be better than the average paper from other stores.
Edit: These notebooks aren't going to change your life or blow your mind, but they're a good option in a pinch or if you have no better options
I love Clairefontaine paper a lot (Rhodia and also Oxford): it's cheap enough and works great with my fountain pens (F/EF). Tomoe River is an amazing paper but it's always way too expensive for any... regular and intensive use (even more so compared to Clairefontaine which is cheap enough for kids to use it in school), at least here in France.
I like Leuchtturm too, but it's also too expensive to my taste.
I love Cosmo Air, Iroful, and Kokuyo KB A5 business paper. They show sheen like Tomoe without being as thin.

I use kokuyo sarasara. It's a somewhat affordable option for taking notes in class
