It really is a spectrum, you’re right - some products definitely taste worse than others.
Pepsi Max tends to taste better because it uses a combination of Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) and aspartame (ie. Equal), whereas Coke/Fanta tends to just use aspartame.
I personally find erythritol to be the most neutral flavour-wise, and without that laxative effect in the event of over-consumption.
Stevia definitely has a herbal after-taste that not everyone finds pleasant, but it can/does have its place at times.
Maltitol on the other hand, is the tool of the devil - and I would only wish it upon my worst enemies.
