I use aspen, news paper and wood chips (vivs+rack) and wood chips is by far my favourite. Holds the humidity really good in wooden vivs with RHPs so misting is barely needed and looks by far the best aswell. Only thing is you need to get it out of the bag it comes in and leave it out to dry for a few days or the humidity is too much in the viv.

When we had a screen lid the eco earth was fabulous as it retains humidity...we are switching to repti-bark because the eco earth was giving the new tank too high humidity. Both look great but I like the look of the eco earth when it's rich with moisture...when it's dry I prefer the looks of repti-bark. Depending on what kind of tank I would use either - I hate aspen though so I am biased.
