I decided to go with Lorenzo Topaz because it has a naturally aged look about it very similar to the pages of the older copies of books I read as research for my essay. I placed the below order:
Lorenzo Topaz 150gsm A4 x 50
Lorenzo Topaz 220gsm A4 x 10
Unfortunately I wasn't able to test print on the different stocks to try out what weights of paper don't bleed through to ruin the other side of the paper, but I did some quick research to inform the weights I ordered. The heavier paper is for the covers.

The 150gsm seemed the best option of the choices on offer by G.F Smith as it was closest to the suggested weights from my research. I'd used their 270gsm paper before and it showed no bleed through at all. Between this and the advice from the internet, I'm confident the 150gsm will work well.
This thickness of paper should also provide a reasonably thick spine, so the publication shouldn't look particularly thin or thick.
