That paper is going to be really heavy, more like cardstock. A 24-32lb copy paper might be more appropriate for day to day.
As for notebooks, take a look at the hardcover Black n' Red books or maybe something top wirebound? Until recently, I hadn't found a legal pad that worked well (then I found these) so I used Rhodia pads with the spiral on top, like so. Definitely lets you hold up with one hand and write with the other.
I'd read somewhere that the Ampad Heavyweight Writing Pad, fairly cheap in bulk, was a good choice for fountain pen use--it wasn't. It feathered badly. Whitelines paper, like this is pricier but I haven't had trouble with feathering or bleed-through when using their
perfect-bound and spiral-bound notebooks.
