Strip: fibreglass types

Dear all, having managed to get my Little Auk to the fibreglassing stage I went to the fibreglass shop and was offered E glass in 2 types, standard weave and satin weave. It was suggested the satin weave drapes better. I have not seen different weaves mentioned on the forum and would like any experience/ comments people have to make about weaves. The satin is roughly 1/3 more expensive.
Thanks, David
