Mine is Fage, but of course that's the most expensive one! I bought Oikos this week because it was on sale, but it's just not the same. Fage is so good that I can eat it just plain with nothing added.

    Anything without pectin or other thickeners in it.Companies use it to make their regular yogurts "appear" more like Greek yogurt so they can still call it "Greek". Bleh. My favorites are probably Nancy's or Wallaby Organics :)

    I eat Cabot- plain- I use it as sour cream and or mayo- but for my yogurt snack I add vanilla protein- so I like the plain- makes it more usable in my house hold.

    no fat, low fat or 10% milk fat (although I dislike doing so because it's 330 calories for 226 grams and I can't tell the difference in taste so to me it's just less food to eat)

    it's typically 3.99 for a big tube.

    Absolutely no way I could eat Fage... way to expensive for as much as I go through.

    Fage 0% here!! Tried Chobani once b/c Fage was sold out, YUCK...never again. Now I buy 3-4 big containers at a time so I don't run out, lol.

    I've yet to try that brand, I need to.

    I prefer Fage, but recently tried the store brand from Aldi and was pleased with it.

    Love Fage.

    Recently been eating Liberte since it's half-price in Morrisons... it's not the same though.

    Atlanta Fresh Greek Yogurt's Vanilla & Caramel..Amazing! I also like their French Roast Coffee flavor. All of their flavors are good, but I'm too scared to try their maple bacon flavor!

    I love Cabot plain yogurt, but my grocery market stopped selling the original plain so I bought the 2% lowfat. Still tastes great! I also like eating the Muller greek corner ones with the caramelized almonds... yum.

    I really need to jump on the bandwagon and use greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream. Never thought about using it for mayo!

    when I figured it out or read about it I almost did a happy dance.. I HATE mayo- never liked it- the taste the texture anything. (took me a long time to come around to yogurt b/c of texture issues as well)

    sour cream I actually prefer- it's a bit thicker and I always ate it with other stuff so never bothered me- problem is- for cooking/prep stuff with mayo- or sour cream... I NEVER used the whole container- always wasted it- so now I can have one container for ALL the things... it's great. So worked out really well for me!!!!

    I haven't tried a lot of different kinds, but I really like Chobani (never tried Fage, though)

    Dannon Oikos was overly sweet, with corn-syrup (I hate the taste of corn syrup!) I also felt like the sugar-to-protein ratio wasn't worth it.

    Yoplait Greek 100 was good until they started using sucralose (aka Splenda ... again it's a taste thing -- gross!)

    So I went with Chobani. It uses "all natural" ingredients, and I really like the taste. I'll get anything from 0% to 2% milkfat, and I can live with the sugar/protein balance.

    But then I've always gotten the flavored ones.

    Fage is my favorite, but now that it's $7 at my store, I only get it when it's on sale. I'll get Oikos if it's on sale, but lately I've been getting Safeway's Open Nature fat free plain. I don't like their Lucerne brand Greek, but this one's good. I wasn't a fan of Cabot, it was too tart.

    Wallaby yogurt is very good, even their non-Greek version. Creamy, and not mealy (the regular style that is). Their Greek style though is really exceptional and has the added advantage of being organic. Ultra creamy and not quite so thick as Fage (too much for me). It's often on sale at Whole Foods too. Liberte is also good, but it's hard to find the Greek one in US. Enjoy!

    Yes It's very tart- but makes it a perfect sub for sour cream!!!

    My protein powder + warm berries fixes that for me- I never eat it just flat out plain out of the container LOL

    There's only one store near me that carries that, but you're right, it would make a great sour cream sub!

    Fage 2%

    The Target brand: Simply Balanced is alright. I'll eat Chobani if that's all that is in the fridge. I got one at BJs...it think it was Liberte (sp?); best EVER...but I haven't seen it again.

    I usually buy whatever is on sale, but if money were no object my favorite would me Nostimo, which is actually the cheapest, next would be Fage, Chobani and lastly Oikos, which sometimes can taste like sour milk. I eat plain non-fat. I've tried full-fat yogurt and it was just too rich for me.

    The Kirkland Signature flavors are really good, but I think I liked Oikos the best. Their key lime is amazing.

    I can not eat any of that yogurt from Aldi's.............ugh!

    My favorite is Fage, but I also like Greek God's full fat plain yogurt.

    And outside of Greek yogurt, I like Mountain High Yoghurt and Noosa.
