I don't think there is a most popular one, we tend to hear about the least popular one - Teva - which causes problems for a lot of people.

Almus and Northstar are both Actavis.

Why do you want a change?

Hello, Actavis does not agree with me at all. I much prefer the Teva brand. Everyone is different though. What suits one does not suit another. It took me quite a while to get a brand that suits.
