I like trying a lot of different things out myself. As far as actual carnauba waxes go: I still think my favorite overall is Dodo Juice Supernatural. I currently have a layer of the very rare Meguiar's #16 on my car, but only think it's marginal thus far. Pinnacle Souveran is what I normally use because of the ease-of-use factor and how deep it looks on red.

Late last summer I tried 5 Star Shine on my winter car. After clay bar, the process is applied pretty easy.
My car sat out all winter under mountain snow and ice, only 1 day was semi warm enough to do a quick wash to get some grime off.
So last week was its first good wash since October. Water beaded like crazy and the shine gives a deep reflection.
So far so good!

Optimum Car Wax is some nice stuff. Technically it's a sealant, but it's very nice to use to top-up your protection after washes. Also works well for areas like inside your door jams, the painted underside of your hood, underside of the trunk, water-channels, etc.

I use Meguiars clay kit then go through the croftgate system, adding a coat of some dodo wax. Here's a couple angles, cloudy day and a couple in the garage. Got a lil orange peel so I need to get a good detail on her soon.

I do the clay bar, MeGuiar's Cleaner wax, and then a finish wax. I used to use MeGuiars Gold Class, but this last time I used Meguiar's Ultimate synthetic wax. Went on and off so much easier than regular paste wax. The final shine was pretty awesome too, but I don't know if I would spend the extra cash over NXT next time. Luckily the can will last me years.
