I used Protostar flocked paper.

See: http://overton.tamu.edu/aset/krajci/ Specifically:
http://overton.tamu.edu/aset/krajci/dobsonian/dobsonian.htm
(see section/photos on baffling)  May be some useful ideas there for you.

I do not know how it compares to other flocked paper.

However, you will probably find black velvet cloth even blacker than
flocking paper...at least at not-very-oblique angles.  You may need to test
to see what is best if you need to flock at very oblique angles. My baffle
setup does not use/depend on very oblique angles in most locations...and
that's good.

I hope this helps,
