I wouldn't necessarily say newspaper is the best. But, if you have limited time and multiple animals to clean, it is easier to keep up with. I actually wondered about the ink, but so many people have done it for so many years, it is pretty much proven safe. You can use any paper actually, just that getting newspaper is easy and basically free.
The vinyl flooring is my fave for any arid environment animal in a tank especially. I keep my leos and beardies on that. I very much like the coconut fiber on humidity needing reptiles. I don't use the pads myself, but I know many GTP & ETB breeders and keepers that swear by them. I will make up a list and links, I am almost done with this heating article, and that is on the list.
