Kauffman's Kona cotton is nice. The quality of muslin really varies but some is nice very nice. I also got some plain white yardage at Connecting Threads that was very nice, but I'm not sure they always have solids at their website. I wish now I'd gotten more.

Bleached muslin , white on whites. Really - that's all I ever use. I buy Kona solid colors - but muslin is really my staple. Remember - you are going to have batting behind it. It will not shadow through. And there are some really nice "quality" muslins out there. I've never had a problem with them. The age of some of my quilts can prove that.

Buy a tone on tone. They add more interest than a solid white and generally are a better quality. You can buy different shades of white-cream. Sometimes an off white looks better than a real white. Personally I prefer the off white for my scrappy quilts.
