I vote Bob Dill.

Voted dill, but I'm really about trying to re-create the NYC-derived pickles of my childhood. Sour, garlicky, and light on the dill. The closest I've come, via Los Angeles retail, are the following half-sours from the Sonoma Brinery, which bring some west-coast fun via some pickled hot pepper in the package...

Dill as a spice is an affront to humanity. Works in a cream based sauce, otherwise best avoided. Sweet pickles is somewhat of a traditional thing here in Sweden (beetroot and especially cucumber and gherkins), and although dill is used a ton in traditional Swedish cuisine - I can't stand it.

Edit: so sweet pickles all the way.
