We have had major issues with bottle feeding. The Playtex drop ins have been the only one she would finally take. We've been trying to introduce others now that she's got the hang of it. She's taking Tommee Tippee now too. Mostly the wide based nipple types, they seem to resemble the breast.
My LO likes Born Free bottles. They seem to work well for her but it took some practice. But since I've been back to work she's been fine and has had little issues with gas/fussiness.
It was a challenge for our dd to drink from a bottle. We tried Dr Browns, but she didn't like those. We tried the Similac one, but again she didn't like it. We tried the Lansinoh one and she took that almost right away ( we tried the other two kids for almost a week with no luck). We are still using them. She drinks from Nuby ones at the babysitter's house.
We've tried everything and settled on a combo of NUK naturals with the nipple with the whole in the side to go against his palate and the Avent slow flow naturals as well. Both have their advantages since they're supposed to help with gas and colic symptoms. They both have four pieces though which is a pain.
I also have a few Medela nipple kits that work in a pinch. The bottles from my symphony fit with a ring and a nipple so when I'm out using my hand pump or just super tired line tonight I don't mess with a bottle. I'll just pump and grab a nipple kit I've preassembled and pop it on to feed C. Works like a charm even if he collapses them on occasion.

We also tried Breastflow which I hated.
