These days my thought is if it is available, I will buy the powder that takes the least amount to work the action. I have Blue Dot but it takes twice as much (or more) of Blue Dot than, say, W231 or Red Dot to get the same effect. That means I can only get half the amount of reloads out of a pound of powder. I no longer care about the most accurate load [quality], I'm going for quantity. There was a time when I tried different bullets, different weights, different powders, etc. Now I stick with what works and the least amount of it.

I'll leave it to you young guys to sort out what is 'best'.
