Epoxy: whats the difference

Hi All,
My thanks to everyone who commented on my prevous epoxy problem. Now that Ive decided to remove the poorly laid glass from the boat, Ive been exploring suppliers for the replacement glass cloth. Ive stumbled across a wee problem.
I know Im trying to find 4 oz (115g)deck and 6oz hull, fiberglass cloth, but I now see there are several types. What is the best for covering the boat, woven roving, plain weave. What is the most commonly used cloth ? and whats the difference?

Sorry if it seems like a stupid question but having made a mess first time round Id like to get it right now :-)

Paul
