I have a thread on litter, this week. I won't use corn based litter as it seems to be causing an allergy (Worlds Best and Benek). Used both in the past, Benek was the better of the two, Worlds Best, if not stored correctly during manufacture, can be smelly and contain mould. Not great if you have the really big bag. It is soft on paws but I think the health issue is something to consider from mites and fungus spores and am not keen on it. Maybe Benek would be the same, but I couldn't find it again, other than the perfumed versions so gave up on it.
Cats Best is a good one, Greenwoods do not specify what it is made of and it is a bit hard, so I no longer get that.
Clay can clump when licked off paws and clog up the digestive system in kittens. Bentonite is also clay.
Perfumed litter can cause allergies or put them off using the tray. Paper litter is soft but goes everywhere and doesn't clump.
Silica is hard and crunchy, doesn't clump. You can also get tofu based litter which I have not tried, and don't want to.
I would go with a clumping wood based litter (Cats Best, Natusan).
I was recommended Natusan and have bought it, looks pretty good and ethical.
