what kind of water filter gives you the best tasting water?

Living in an area that has well water instead of city water now, it was crucial that we find a great water filtration system for our drinking faucets.  Now although we have a water filter/softener outside we were still afflicted with rust and odors in our water from our house being empty and unused for nearly 9 months prior to our move.
For basic water filtration you can't beat the Brita systems.  We noticed the difference from the first glass of clear cold water.  The best part is the pricing.  It is an affordable unit with replacement cartridges I can afford.
Now if you don't mind the initial outlay, there is nothing that beats Pur.  The 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount reduces Heavy Metals (Lead and Mercury), Chlorine (taste and odor), Benzene, MTBE and TTHMs to provide clean, healthy, great tasting water. No matter which you choose you are on your water to great tasting water!
