I use paper towel in the hatchling tanks, but hydroton
(photo from amazon.com where you can order it) for the adults who are able to catch crickets between the rocks. It looks great and is low maintenance; you can take a handful out and replace it (they always poop in the same corner!), and once a month or so you can empty out the whole cage. I guess that and tiles or the hardened sand/clay/rock mixture they use in Europe comes closest to their natural "rocky desert" habitat where they can also dig.
In 2008, I started out with big wood chips but discarded those albeit the great looks because the mealworms and crickets would multiply in there. I also tried repticarpet and discarded it because it got too dirty too quickly and is not feasible for dozens of geckos.
