Considering nothing but your hedgehog's health, fabric liners are the best bedding. They are not dusty, don't have sharp pieces to lodge in places they do not belong and are comfortable to walk on. You can use food and water dishes which are better for your hedgehog and it is easier to monitor health issues.

Second choice would be pelleted wood and paper bedding for their lower risks of respiratory problems compared to untreated wood.

Third choice would by shavings, fine to use but not as desirable.

I used to use fina card but we onto liners as they are more cost effective and a lot easier when cleaning out. I find the vivs keep their warmth better as well.
I think I made 6 at a cost of about £9

We use liners and igloo houses with pouches for the girls and two of them are liner divers. Both males have always been liner divers so don't put igloo in with them. Breeding females when it is their time we use the carefresh.
