I really like to use Kaufman Fusions for blenders. It gives the appearance of being a blender from a distance but closer you see the pretty floral design. Another reason I like them so much is they are so versatile. They usually have enough different tones in them that you can mix and match them very easily with anything from Asian prints to Batiks to country colors like thimbleberries or CW repros.
I also like marbles. No brand loyalty on those. I have used Moda or P&B or any brand I find that works. And never underestimate the power of a good solid like Kona or Moda Bellas.

I really like Maywood's Shadow Play - mostly I get them from my LQS - they have a variety of colors and many different shades of each color - they really go well with many fabrics - I love how the look changes depending on the focus fabric chosen - for instance I can have a Shadow Play that looks purple - but if I pair it with another fabric it may look more pink - so it really changes everything up.

I'm partial to marbled. I just bought some red tending towards black as a marble from Blank. I wanted something to frame a basically black and white panel that also had a few shades of red as accents and it was easier to go with a marble rather than trying to match one particular color.
this is the one I bought yesterday: http://www.blankquilting.com/blankqu...csBlenders.php
I bought it for the dragon fabric I bought from Joann's.
