Well, glossy with dye inks looks great for a couple of weeks if you're lucky, before they start fading. The only real trouble with glossy is the reflections from it. But I've printed some glossy and some semi matte, and I much prefer the semi matte. Plus, the Epson premium gloss I've used seems more like a plastic than a paper, really strange stuff.
