I like using Finest Call cause it comes in a HUGE bottle. I've used Torani before, not much difference. I don't think I've ever tried the TV brand, though.

I used TV's for years, but the shipping is a killer, and people are expressing reservations about apparently recent changes in the formulations of TV syrups. Most recently tried Torani and DaVinci. Liked Torani better than DaVinci (which tasted a bit thin), but neither seemed as good as TV.
I decided to order some from Finest Call (along with some Passion Fruit Puree and Hurricane Mix). I ordered it online, 8 1-liter bottles total, standard shipping. With shipping, it came to $6.50/bottle. They had it out the door to FedEx in under 4 hours, and I had it in just under 52 hours!
I think the Orgeat is very close to the TV brand, in look, taste and mouth-feel. I'm glad, because I got 4 bottles.
