Anything locally sourceable. For me it's a local company called Eureka Technologies that sells filament for a good price, but also in between batch filaments called Random for $8 that's perfect for prototyping.
Other than that there is a local Canada Computer that sells ANet, Sunlu, and flash forge filament that works well enough.
Which is Natureworks PLA. I suspect a number of the types listed in this thread is as well. Eureka is nice in that they list exactly which source material it is right on the spool. Plus they use cardboard spools with the empty spool weight listed. Brilliant.
