I never use jarred sauces mainly because I like to control the seasonings and quickie sauces are easy to make, but I'm not against them. I don't think I've tried one since Ragu days of old. Jarred sauces are pretty easy to make your own, also, though.

I've never heard of RAO. Is it sweet?

What about Tony Mandina's Red Gravy. Sweet?

It's on the sweet side, but not overly sweet. We use the Tomato Basil one, so the basil adds some extra sweetness, but it mostly just cuts through the acidity.

It's a well balanced sauce. It's about $7-$8 a jar.

I don't find the marinara to be overly sweet at all.. They also have a couple of cookbooks that are good and the recipe for their broccoli rabe is a game changer.
Rao's is an old Italian restaurant up in Harlem that has like 12 tables and you purchase a table for a year. The only way to get in is if somebody gives you their table for a night or somebody dies. I'd really like to make it their sometime. I've read you can go in and have drinks at the bar and wait it out, and if you're lucky they'll seat you. I have one well connected Italian friend in New York that's been and he says it was excellent.
There's also a restaurant in Las Vegas and I don't know if the quality is the same..

It is mildly sweet but not over the top. Their sauce tends to have a deeper flavor like a heavily cooked and caramelized tomato flavor. It is also a very smooth sauce, which I've come back to enjoy.
