I know Nestle Good Start has natural cultures in it (similar to breastmilk) and no other formula has that. My DD (who was bf until 9 mos) never liked Good Start but loved Similac Advance or Enfamil.
Similac advanced earlyshield for immune . She only gets about 3oz a day now but it's what the hospital suggested because i knew i needed to supplement from the beginning.
We use the Enfamil Premium because that's what the free sample from the hospital was. He took it fine when we had to start supplementing so we've stuck with that one.

We got Similac advanced formula (with iron) at the hospital, and we were told it was the closest thing to breastmilk in a formula. I supplement with it and DS's poop changes color, but the pedi says that's normal.
We use Similac Advance because that's what the hospital gave us. Our twins have done great with it. Haven't had any problems going back and forth between that and BFing.
