commercial foods...

What are your opinions on different brands of commercial diets? I use rep cal once or twice a week a long with varied greens and insects as well as occasional fruit. I like to give a little commercial diet to add variety and extra vitamins to thier diet. I have noticed companies like monster diet and other more common name companies. Who uses what and why? I've never had a problem with rep cal but am curious if I'm missing out on anything good?
Opinions?

I have been using RepCal for years and love it. The beardies really look forward to it and gobble it down. What I like most about it is the three colors of pellets. We have noticed that many of the dragons eat in different order and some will not eat certain colors at all! With other diets we have seen the pellets are all the same color - would be a problem for some of mine! =)

I mix the rep cal with their salad and I moisten it first with water. Do you use juice or anything special to moisten yours? Maybe my dragons just aren't that used to it yet. My boxies and my sulcata both enjoy the special diets rep cal makes for them so maybe my beardies are just not as used to them. How often do you include pellets in your beardies diets?
Thanks for your info.
