I'm going to mention one that rarely gets recommended: Judikins. I have purchased several different colors from them at conventions but I think you can purchase it online as well. They have tons of types and colors and I've had great sucess with all that I've bought.
Ranger: pretty much all of their EP lines (and they have quite a few) except for their distress powders. Love all of the other distress products, though. And their Adirondack EP is interesting because it has a white core and you can do some fun stuff with that.
Stampendous: white and all of her Frantage EPs
Zing: wonderful colors
WOW: their glitter EP is really something

Judikins Egyptian Gold is my absolute favorite gold to use for the holidays, it is just so sparkly and pretty. Judikins Pastel is also fun to use, especially on white cardstock. It produces a very soft, monochromatic look.
What don't you like with the distress embossing powders?
Just not my style. I think any Ranger product is top quality.
I prefer detail embossing powders. When I do use 'chucky' powders (I consider the distress powders 'chunky'), I use the Stampendous Frantage line for shabby chic.

I'll second or third the recommendations for Judikins. They are consistently easier to use and give good coverage. Even my ancient ones work perfectly still. I just wish they had a wider selection of colors. My second choice would be Stampendous as they have so many colors. I also have a bunch of Ranger, but I have never thought they come out as smooth as the other 2 brands.
This question raises lots of issues because so much depends on the user's style, the paper, the stamp, and the effect desired. Distress powders, weren't developed for outline stamping. If you want texture/special effects on a project they're great. Wasn't there a chart here somewhere showing different kinds of embossing powders and their uses? I seem to remember that chart from days of yore.
Best Embossing powder?
