I know it's been a while since you've posted your question, but I just saw this. I have used Merkens with much success. I usually buy it from a local store near my house. I just bought some Guittard from ebay which I am going to be using for the first time. some people use wiltons, but I like the Merkens taste much better. It doesn't taste as synthetic in my opinion.
I only use Bercolaide. Not a well known product but its chocolate is superb to even Guitard in my book. Unfortunately it is only sold thru the wholesale distributors so you won't find it in a store. The local bakery shops can get it for you though. They do have a web site so you could call them and find out who is in your area.
The chocolate is light in texture and rich and smooth in taste. I use chocolate for a number of items so its important to me to have a good tasting chcolate.
