I use shredded paper with rubber mats I think must have the dirtiest horse ever!!! he is so bad and the only thing i found to keep him clean on is paper its fantastic once you get used to it and i find it economical. I get mine LKF animal bedding in norfolk and order 50 bales at a time. I have 2 horses on it
 
Megazorb (I think thats how its spelt) is by far the most absorbant bedding I have ever tried - and I have tried them all! It is also soft for the horses to stand/lie on.

However, I also found that it stuck to my boots if there was a tiny bit of moisture on them, so my whole life became a 'megazorb' zone.

But some people I know use it very successfully -
 
Megazorb - only bedding that can take on piddly Farra Clydesdale - I use it on rubber mats - about 3" - 4" deep on half the floor. After a few days it settles and forms a firm base. Take poo out daily and the wet area out once every week or so - on normal horses you would do we every two weeks, but Farra being a very big girl that eats a lot hay and consquently drinks gallons needs the wet out every week.

When I got Stinky he was horrible and what was not peed on had his water buckets kicked over on - put him on megazorb and he had wet out every two weeks and it saved me hours of mucking out and a very wet stable and cut my bedding bill down - I was using 3 bales of shaving a week and went down to 1 sack of megazorb.
 
I use Bliss bedding, it's about £7 a bale I think. I do a semi deep litter on rubber mats. I put down enough to get about a 6" coverage, skip out daily and take wet out every 1-2 weeks. It works brilliantly I only take out 1 barrow load at a time so once the base is established I'm using less that a bale a week. It smells nice too. This is the website.
