I found natural sponges too irregular for wiping a straight razor clean between passes, but I do agree that there are huge differences between the various types of synthetic sponges and some work better than others.
For wiping the blade clean between passes, I use this when I use a sink full of water (rather than running the tap throughout the shave):

It seems to be a Spanish ‘thing’ and when I bought one a few years ago I did not care much for it at first, but - after discovering one in my traditional barbershop - I have started using one again and have grown to quite like it.
