Stevia tastes better and has no insulin response.
Now, how should we settle this dispute? Pistols at dawn?
When I drink diet soda, I find that aspartame works better than splenda... and I haven't found a stevia-based soda yet that doesn't taste absolutely disqusting.
When I make a pitcher of Kool-Aid, I find that 8 packets of stevia produce a result that's better than any other sweetener I've tried (including sugar).
Taste is subjective, and varies from individual to individual, of course.
Stevia especially tastes like sharply-sweet chemicals. First time I tried it in orange juice I winced.
I just eat sugar as it comes in today's foods. I'm really skinny so maybe I should eat more of it?

The only one I can use as anywhere close to a sugar substitute is Truvia, which is a Stevia/erythritol blend.
My ex-wife used Stevia a lot and loved it. It tastes bitter and disgusting to me. Growing up, my mom always used Sweet-n-Low (saccharine sweetener) and tried to get me to use it. It always tasted bitter and disgusting to me.
I'm not a fan of grapefruit either (very bitter, no sweetness). Cilantro I'm okay with though; it doesn't taste like soap to me, but to some people it does.
