Ultraflexx makes a pretty good double sided

if you're using a waterfall-style printer, just make sure you let the first side properly dry before trying to run the reverse side....
was once in a rush and trying to print the second side of my banner material... and the tackiness of the ink ended up causing the banner to draw down into my friction-feed rollers and ruined my banner (and could potentially ruin your printer!)

o, and +1 to UltraFlex! great stuff!

We use Bantex 18oz double-sided. We've made thousands of boulevard banners with it, great stuff.

actually, i was reading your threads and have a question, how did you line up printing on side two?

You need to make sure that both sides are printed with margin/crop marks.
I usually use a ball point pen to poke thru the banners right at the leading corners on the first side on the banner, flip the banner and set my origin point on those holes i poked. I always make sure that I am right at the printer as it starts the second side so that as it starts to print the crop marks for the second side I can see if those crops are printing right on my holes, It not cancel printing and try again.
