Roaster recommendations

[ovfitbob]

I've been buying beans from my local roaster for a few years, but want to try something different. I prefer light to medium blends.
I decided to do a search on ChatGPT for a short list of the better roasters. Among the ones mentioned were Stumpstown, Blue Bottle, Counter Culture,Ritual and others. I know taste is subjective, but what are the opinions of the group of good roasters to buy from?

Thanks

Thanks.
The company sounds familiar. I think I bought some a couple of years ago.
