I am trying to figure out the best medium (at a good intersection of cost and quality) for an approximately 10 ft x 10 ft print.

(This is for an exhibit that I'm putting on with my own budget. I'll likely mount this on some sort of large wooden wall)

I'm considering printing to canvas, or to a softer more easily transportable-material (rollable or foldable?).

Ideally, it would be one continuous piece of material... instead of taped together from smaller prints.

I am also considering custom wallpaper prints, such as large-format vinyl or "repositionable wallpaper" types - which run at between 0 and 0 for 10'x10'

If I'm printing through an online commercial printer, how can I pre-determine the quality and what it will look like on the material, before it's too late?

Any advice appreciated!

(This is related to - Cheap very large scale printing methods (wall sized, 10,000 square feet) - but on a smaller surface area, and also I am open to commercial printing alternatives.)

There is a company in Dallas that does wall size canvas prints. kitcanvas.com google Kit Canvas dallas if that doesn't work
I have used them a few times and they are great and fairly cheap.
AND THEY SHIP ANYWHERE FREE!!
The problem with wall size has always been the frame that goes with it, but these guys figured out how to do it cheaply and light weight. They had a kickstarter campaign before they got up and running but now they are up and running.

I would advice that you create a Photo canvas as this would have the best quality and the picture resolution would also look beautiful on the canvas.

Here's the thing - Sizes that big already need a printer that prints things that are larger than usual, which will usually mean that you need some kind of industrial printer that by default will cost more money than regular prints.

The cheapest alternative I can think so will not necessarily be relevant for you but it is widely used for decorating walls and it's fairly cheap so here it goes:

You can design and cut stickers and create a custom made design from wall stickers that are cut in to create your design, usually what you actually design is a vector, but they can do picture too. That way you don't need a specifically large printer just a lot of stickers, and most cutting places will send an expert to glue them to the wall perfectly according to the design, here are a few examples I found just googling "Wall sticker design":
