If you have an HP printer that's fine. However, HP does not provide profiles for other brand printers, so your results may be less than satisfactory.

HP / Hewlett Packard Advanced Photo Paper, Glossy (20 sheets, 13 x 19")

20 for $21.60 and it's HP paper.

Using price a criteria for what paper you buy is a mistake IMHO.
I don't like glossy paper for large format if you're going to frame it.
Cheap paper also tends to be thinner paper and thinner paper won't sit flat in a frame, glossy paper will just make the wavy effect more noticeable.

I like Canon Fine Art Photo Rag $70 for 20 in the stores ($55 on line) and worth every penny.

steve i saw that paper from b&h. it comes out to 31 dollars with shipping and tax. I do plan on framing it. I always used the advanced paper from hp but i always print 8.5 x 11. I never printed on 13 x 19 before since i got this printer not that long ago

Well you can use Google as well as I can, so good luck.

Since we are on the subject of photo paper, lets say I wanted to make a print of one of my designs what kind of matted paper would be the best to use? Also do digital prints from unknown artists even sell?

Yes, prints from unknown artists sell. Take a look at fineartamerica.com and you'll see plenty of digital prints sell there. I have my own shop set up on that site, but I haven't made a sale yet. You just have to market yourself.
