Folks what is the best way to mount and display a Panoramic picture?

Same as a regular sized print. Whether you have an 8x10 or an 8x30 the mounting and displaying is the same, whether you decide to use paper, fine art, canvas or metal. I think you may need to reword your question as I suspect you are looking for something else.
If you include a photo of the pano it might give us a hint at what direction we take in our answers.

I like printing them on PhotoTex. You can run it all the way around the room, if one so desired.

4 x 12 is a standard size and frames are available.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I have seen panoramic's mounted to black or white foam board and hung on the wall. I haven't seen them framed but then I haven't seen that many as I normally work with standard size prints that are framed.
this is the image I was asking about it is 48 x16 inches. Your advice would be appreciated.
See Metal Prints under Main (various photography discussions) above. Tony

If you have a good frame shop near you, I would have them cut a mat & then make your own frame.

Very nice photo. I am leaning toward the PhotoTex option followed closely by a canvas Wrap. Both these option offer a nice textured finish conducive with the content.
I would stay away from metal or a high gloss paper as the content will not be enhanced and once glass is used you have a very reflective sheen for a non-sheen print. I know as I tried a shot of the GC on metal and it just didn't look right.
If standard framing is more your thing, maybe try a fine art paper but choose a high quality museum glass. More money but a much nicer finished product.
As always, these are my thoughts on the matter and YMMV.
Folks thanks for the advice, it was very helpful.
Printing on metal doesn't have to have a reflective finish. There are many choices for metal finishes. Tony
