Okay. Help me decide here.

For species that eliminate often or in great quantities, paper's relative lack of absorbency becomes a bigger con.

I don't recommend that species for the most part to anybody.

They are extremely interesting and very entertaining but far too much work for my personal liking.

Natural sub or paper does little when they mess up the sides of the cage, the windows and whatever else.

True story,,,

Almost all of the snakes here now dump out in their water bowls. Great for overall cleaning, but its very annoying especially after changing the water since they time it with a freshly changed bowl.

I'd prefer they eliminate in the water that's ready to be changed instead of the fresh stuff.

See what "Royalty" gets you?

I'm a janitor with a fancy title I guess.

Ah, yes, the water bowl dump. That can be a challenge for paper to absorb. If you're going to use paper, you need a stable water bowl.
