So, let's pursue 8x10 contact printing for now.
1. Is there a "best" contact printing paper?

Since there is only one (?? - or are there 2)
it is not only the best, but also the worst.
In sum, it is thoroughly mediocre.

1.1 Any online examples of AZO vs. whatever, to show the difference?

Enter "azo paper" into Google - then click on the images tab.

2. Do chemicals make any difference here?

Do you dip the cracker into the wine or do you take the wine
and cracker separately?: Episcopalian churches in Kansas City
had schisms on this issue. (Unitarian urban legend)

When all is said and done the developers (outside of the
obvious, such as what color toner was used) make little
difference. IMHO: only the person making the prints would
can one he developed in Dektol from the one he developed
in Ansco 130.

And after saying that, I'm killfiling this thread.

Any other things to look at that you can think of?

Mountains, rivers, forests, flowers, women ....
It is necessary to look at these things first.
