Incubation medium

I was just curious what everyone uses for incubation.

I do substrateless incubation for everything, but I've had success with vermiculite, perlite, sphagnum moss, cypress mulch, rockwool, and plastic.

Could you do this method with Sphagnum Moss as it holds moisture well? Has anyone tryed this and had any success?

Same method here but I use Perlite. I like the idea with aquarium gravel, keep us posted with your results!

I though I included hatch-rite and APS in the poll but I must have forgot.
I was wondering does it matter what substrate you use when you use the light diffuser(substrateless method)

Also if you vote other feel free to tell us what you do use.
