Canon Refillable Ink Question.

Hi I am using Hobbicolors and am happy with them, but want to try these 2 companies as well

http://www.octoink.co.uk/

http://www.ocp-inks.com/content.php?lang=en

and also was using the German refill method which sometimes can ruin the sponge in the cartridge, might have to try the top refill way as I hear it is better,

anyway between octoink and ocp inks which is the better one? I would probably also need a new ICC profile like I did with hobbicolors right? and as far as print paper there was a good deal on ebay for kirkland glossy photo paper which I bought and had 150 sheets for like 25 euro, and there was this really nice guy that sent me a test print for me to send to him in Canada so he could make a ICC profile that worked great, now I can not find good deals on kirkland as to be sent here to Greece is to expensive, also looked at red river polar matte but 30.00 dollars shipping, anybody also know of any great photo paper in Europe that has great prices? I would really appreciate it thanks;)
