Default Which sugar subs are you using now?

To those tempted to post how they don't use sweeteners, good on ya! But that's not really what I'm asking about.

I've stopped using aspartame, Splenda, erythritol, and now xylitol. Bad health studies associated with all of them. Allulose might be a migraine trigger for me. Any of the -ol ending sweeteners, I avoid due to the fact they're crap.
That leaves stevia and monk fruit for now. Anyone have any recommendations?

Stevia is good for a lot of stuff, but tastes awful in some things. I just ordered a monk fruit extract, so not sure how that will work out. I realized my migraines were more frequent (suddenly so) right about when I started using allulose. They went from 1 every year or two to almost 1 every month. I've stopped the allulose and the frequency has subsided somewhat. Other things might be contributing as well.
