No real opinion of which is best because I usually just buy what's on sale. The main thing is to do some kind of treatment to the bun as opposed to just pulling it out of the bag. I'm always shocked at how many home cooks and even restaurants will make a really good burger patty with good toppings and put it on a cold bun right out of the bag. It's amazing how much a little butter and heat on the bun elevates the whole burger.
Bayou, I'm not saying you would have used a cold bun, but for anyone who does...stop it.

Kaiser bun for burgers. Can hold up to anything you put in it. I like the corn meal dusted ones for some extra texture

Milk Buns make great burger buns

Good on a smash burger, wouldn’t do it on a grilled burger

I use the Marketside Brioche Buns from Walmart Deli, my family really enjoys them.
ETA; As mentioned, I always toast them on my the grill or griddle and it makes them so much better.

Anything but brioche.
I fricking hate the trend of using brioche buns to "elevate" a fricking hamburger that gastro pubs started .
It's too sweet. Like eating a donut with meat. Then they recommend you wash it down with some disgusting small batch IPA because apparently that's the only kind of beer that microbreweries know how to make (Named some stupid pun that they confuse with being witty like Malice in Wonderland)
Give me a basic white bread bun, with or without sesame seeds, over a brioche or pretzel bun any day.
Sorry for the rant.
I just really hate what hipsters have done to our industry.

brioche buns are hipster now? You have to be on drugs, respectfully.

He's right though. Brioche buns fricking terrible.

Sorry you eat like a toddler

Actually toddlers would probably prefer the disgusting mass of milky, sugary diabetic shite that is brioche over a respectable bun. Bro

Costco ciabattas make terrific burger buns.

Agree completely.
A good freshly baked hamburger bun can put a hamburger over the top.
One that tastes like a freaking cinnamon roll or breakfast bun completely kills it, though.

Contrarian view: romaine lettuce wraps. Nice crunch, lighter and more refreshing. More efficient use of your veggy.

Not a bad alternative, but it feels like you've gotten Marriott room service.
ETA: I can't un-remember the lettuce providing unnecessary crunch, since you get it from the bread.
