What do you use for battens when wall tiling?

[TONY]

I use 2+1 battens from travis perkins 45p per metre come in 3 to 4 metre lengths just cut to the size you want

I use several different methods,I have the rubi stands which are good but only go to a certain height,2+1 bfrom B&Q,the straight edges of plasterboards as previously said and the one I use the most is metal channeling that I picked up from a building site,a few different lengths and their pre-drilled.I find these are by far the best method,very straight and strong.
