I’ll buy other filaments to try, but these are the only filaments I keep buying. Inland should be on this list and I’ve got all of their filaments in my tracking system, but I just buy their underlying esun/polymaker variant if I’m buying online. Don’t be afraid of Inland if you live near Microcenter.

About me: I am not an industrial user but I do move my filament on pallets.

I think - as you did in your One-offs - it depends a lot of the filament type you are using.
Beside of one no-name from Amazon, there is no brand I am totally unhappy with. But it really depends which type of filament and your expectations (especially comparing wood filament is nearly impossible).

I really like wood but it’s too much work for me to test for the small quantity I use (<10kg/mo?), so mostly I just use the Bambu. Eryone has a range of inexpensive wood (if you buy it direct), but I’m too lazy to try tuning it better.
