All paper towels are not equal. The cleanliness of the pulp that was used to make the paper towel is important, and a cleaner the pulp the higher the cost of the paper towel. This is a product where you really get what you pay for.
Bounty and Viva are the least likely to have any abrasive dirts in them. To me, Viva is more absorbant, but Bounty has a higher wet-strength and is less likely to fall apart. I have used both, and can't tell any difference between them; but I use Viva out of habit and to me it feels more like a piece of cloth than the Bounty. I used Bounty when I worked for P&G because it was free.
Lesser quality (cheaper) paper is more likely to have abrasive dirts in them that can cause scratches on the finished surface, and there is definitely a lot of foreign particles in the cheap store brands.
If lint is a problem, "Sparkle", or whatever is the current name of the premium towel made by Georgia Pacific, is still the most lint-free paper towel on the market. However, I don't like its coarser texture for finishing.
I have used toilet and facial tissue when I ran out of paper towel. Most of them have perfumes and other things in them, including cosmetic creams and anti-bacterial agents, that can accelerate the cure of the CA and cause other problems in the finish. All of them are more likely to have a lint problem than with a paper towel.
