My bunnies are on Manna Pro and they seem fine with it. It's what the breeders use around here, and they told us to buy it so we did. The only thing I don't like about this brand is that it doesn't have an expiration date. Other than that, so far I haven't had any major problems with it.
 
One thing that I dont save money on is the pellets. I only buy Oxbow pellets. But I buy litter and hay from the hay store though.
