I would use whatever it is in your lab. that stains most consistently
badly. 
Everywhere I've been that is endometrium.

Angela, I don't know if there is a consensus, but one lab I know used a
piece of appendix.

It's a good idea because there is a fair amount of material left over
from surgical samples available for use. There are also epithelial
cells, muscle tissue, and some lymphoid cells represented.

You could also combine a few different tissue types together in a block
and use that.
