I would recommend Bicycle. They are consistently good cards and last quite well if you can keep them clean and dry. They fan and spread well and evenly. They are good for springing, dribbling and faros, including one-hand faros. I find that the Bicycle Rider Backs seem to be of better quality than the Bicycle Standards, and I have gotten bricks of them online averaging about $2.00 a deck, with free shipping. That's really great for a great deck. I have lots of decks of custom decks that are quite beautiful, more attractive than the Bicycles, but almost none of them beat the bicycles for cardistry. And the Bicycles are 1/5th or in some cases 1/10 the cost. I have never tried the Virtuoso SS16 deck, but maybe I will give it a try.
