TT mats

I have a VPI Scoutmaster TT and am wondering if any of you can recommend a matt for the platter and why?
Thanks in advance

The SP10MK 2 has a long spindle

Which thickness of Isodamp would you suggest? Also I trust your moniker has personal meaning and is not an example of poor spelling attributed to engineers in general. ;^)
