Tried MANA[1], Joylent[2] and Jake[3] back when I started.
Out of the those 3, MANA was clearly superior. The main reason was better texture. Taste was also a factor. Both of Joylent and Jake had a really distinct taste (most likely) caused by sweetener they used, which was really unpleasant.
In fact, I never managed to finish Joylent/Jake because I just couldn't get myself to drink them. On the other hand, I still use MANA for ~7 meals a week to this day.
Someone I know also tried Huel[4], but their verdict was "would not recommend".
