 I go for the largest tin from either La Tienda or Hot Paella; either are the big players in the Spanish imported foods.  They rear-end on shipping so it's worth putting in a real order like getting the rice, a couple of other paprikas, perhaps a different size pan?  The basic pan is the one to get; the steel mineral content just works the best.
I too like the smoked paprika.  I usually mix 2/3's bittersweet smoked and 1/3 hot paprika.  I also consider what kind of peppers I using.
