Personally I’d steer clear of the cheap polyester ones on Amazon. I’ve had some luck with the more expensive microfibre ones but the cost does start adding up.
I’d second the point about upholstery fabric. I’ve made one from upholstery velvet which I’m happy with, it hangs well and I got the fabric pretty cheap but once up, the pile does need brushing in a consistent direction to make it catch the light consistently.
