I actually don't care for any of them as to me they all have a funny after taste, I will tolerate them until spring and then I plan on growing my own Stevia Plants and get it right from the source and see what i think.

I've used the Now brand powdered stevia and I always thought it tasted ok, but my sister said it tasted artificial. Now I've switched to powdered sucralose in my coffee. No fillers, just sucralose. The stuff is so concentrated I needed to buy micro measuring spoons.
It's crazy how much you find dextrose and maltodextrin in "sugar free" stuff!1 -
To keep it simple for my old brain I stopped using all types of sweeteners. Now most foods still taste sweet so I bypass any possible side effects of any sweeteners. Taste seems to be psychological in nature.1

I used powdered stevia for a few thanksgiving dishes (cranberry sauce and Keto pumpkin cheesecake) and don't really like the after taste. I'll try the liquid version next time - thanks for the tip!0

I use liquid or powdered stevia but in a pinch, any sweetener will do, including Truvia. None of them seem to cause me any adverse reactions (except sugar alcohols). They all taste "ok" to me.0
