Hi:

If you're just starting out you can get away with a simple sheet of glass.
If you are using the sun for expposure and have to move your paper and
negative in and out of the sun you will have to figure out how to hold
everything in place while its being moved. Tape could work.

Of the limited papers available here I've had best success with Stonehenge
white with cyanotype. I get really nice contrast with this and its not
too expensive.
