Polymaker
Not just for PLA either, they are my default brand for all filament unless they don't make the filament I need/want for a project. Reasonably priced, consistently available, and high quality.
Polymaker polylite PLA pro. The Polymax PLA is more expensive and less rigid. The PLA pro is only $2 more a kilo than regular polylite PLA and significantly stronger. Many colors are more matte than esun PLA + which is similar in cost and performance.
Yeah I love ploymax too. The pro prints thick though so you have to go hotter and slower. Their polylite PLA is still really great and has more colors so I like using it for for fast prototypes and things that don't need the strength.
Honestly their petg is a go to as well. I found prints to be much more consistent and better quality than similar cheaper petg I've been tempted to try by Amazon deals.
Love polymaker for the natural filament.
