They use soy nut butter at school and we've used it at home and I like it. It had the same consistency of regular pb and when in a sandwich with jelly it didn't taste too different.

We use Sunbutter. My DS loves it and DH and I like it too. We like the creamy one (the naturaly one has actual sunflower seeds in it and we don't like that texture). I get mine on Amazon, because its cheaper that way, but I have seen it at various grocery stores.
ETA: We always buy the natural one, because it tends to be a dollar or so cheaper. I haven't noticed whole sunflower seeds in it. The crunchy version does, though.
Trader Joe's makes a great sun nut butter (from sunflower seeds) that we use. it's not much more expensive then peanut butter, and it's pretty good. It's not as thick as BP, but it's good.
We love the Trader Joe's sunbutter. Even my dh now prefers it over actual peanut butter. We don't live very close to a Trader Joe's so I buy at least 6 jars at a time when we get to one!
DS1 is allergic to tree nuts, so we do not keep nut products in the house. We use Sunbutter. DS1 doesn't like it (I wonder if he remembers his first reaction which was to peanutbutter), but DH and I like it!

Soynut butter is good. I use it.
Also, Nutella, if allergy allows.

I buy it @ WalMart and it tastes really good. We all eat it.
