Printing Cards and Shit

I also want to proxy some cards and print some customs but I have no idea what kind of paper is best for this.
I'm not the crafty sort so any tips and tricks appreciated.

The first is what they call card stock. About business card thickness or a little bit more.
The other thing is just print on regular paper then run it through my laminator. The first one I had I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. My current one I used a 50% coupon from Michaels. I get my laminator pouches from Sam's but any hobby or office supply should carry them

Anyway, thanks for the advice. I've been putting off doing this stuff for a while now.

I've used tons of cardstock (110 lb weight from Staples) over the years for prototype components of all shapes and sizes. And I've never had an issue with curling, or anything else over time. They've held up extremely well.
I will sleeve cards, especially smaller ones.

I agree about the 110# cardstock. IMO it makes good cards for homebrew stuff. I sleeve mine with good-quality, thicker sleeves - like Fantasy Flight - and they feel fine. I made a couple Epic Duels custom decks this way and they compare well to the (admittedly subpar) quality of the official cards.
110# cardstock, a corner rounder, a good paper cutter, and some good card sleeves are pretty much all you need for a low-maintenance card-making setup.
