I really like Blueberry as well, but as others have said, there is no "one" blueberry flavor that really works for everything.

First of all, since you have FW I highly suggest you get TFA Blueberry Extra, so that you can mix up the best blueberry recipie there is (in my opinion) - Viserion by /u/ID10-T. It's absolutely amazing.

Second, would be FA Bilberry, so that you can utilize the blueberry trinity by u/EdibleMalfunction.
TFA Blueberry Extra 3.0 %
FW Blueberry 2.0 %
FA Bilberry 0.5 %

Third, JF Blueberry is a very sweet and realistic blueberry flavor, some even think it should replace FA Bilberry in the trinity mentioned above. I would probably agree, altho I haven't played with it that much. I personally think it's very good on it's own though.

Fourth, HS Blueberry is probably one of my favourite flavors, it's a very sweet and candy like blueberry. Not very authentic, but it is really good together with other berries and fruits.

u/kindground made a very good post not too long ago, sharing his notes from the latest noted episode on blueberry.

The real end all be all is that there is no singular perfect blueberry.

FW leans a bit toward the candied side, little oversweet. FA Bilberry and TFA blueberry extra round it out into something much more authentic. CAP blueberry jam is awesome for a jammy/syrupy dark berry thing. TFA's wild blueberry has its own merits as well.

You're going to be best served by combining the ones that carry the notes you need for a given recipe.

Brand loyalty is overrated. FA Bilberry is very good though. That is 100% accurate.

FW Blueberry is my personal favorite. I've tried a few, and many have some strange off notes (at least to my palate) but the FW really hits the spot.

Check out this post for some great blueberry discussion, including the "holy trinity":

Same here for the FW Blueberry. It's my favorite. FA bilberry for me is one of the worst. Tastes like what sweaty socks smell like...

Hangsen is interesting. To me once I mixed that with FW blue berry and a little bilberry it turned into an interesting but overpowering blueberry.

Fw blueberry is my go to especially for bakeries. It can stand alone and be bent/used as an icing.

While simple, I have actually liked using Tfa BB Extra, and Tfa BB Wild. You can use 1-2% less of the wild to extra or the same % I feel like it is a full bodied authentic BB. It's also a very cost effective combo. Anyway it's just my take on it. I tend to want to make all my fruit flavors as close to the real thing as possible, and what you get for the cost of these 2 is well worth it.
