A lot of folks seem to like Nobuko Stitch and t-stitch for backgrounds as well. Here are diagrams I found online. Nobuko is first.

I don't have a favorite background stitch myself. I use a different one with each canvas as they all seem to need something different. Still, if you are stumped for a background, the stitches above all work well.
