I would stick with what he is used to to start out with. It is common for young cresteds to get picky about eating after being shipped or when in a new home, so keep it familiar in the beginning and there is less chance of having an issue. Once he is settled in and gaining weight you can try other foods. I really like the Pangea with Insects and all of my geckos eat it with no problems. They have varying opinions of other flavors and brands, but I have the most success with that one. I generally stick with the Pangea with Insects and every once in a while I switch it out with a different flavor until I use up the alternate flavor. Your gecko will let you know which flavors he likes best.
Once you find their favorite food stick to it.
Back in the days before pangea was around Rephashy was THE food however they mess around and changed their formula and many people complained that their gecko did not eat as much anymore.
Pangea is a GREAT food, I no longer feed the one with bugs since I actually offer Dubias once or twice a weeks but I feed the Banana Apricot right now (Chahoua loves it, Gargoyle not so much), based on sales (since I work a friend's table who sales geckos and food) the most popular in order are Watermelon, Apricot & Banana and Fruit Mix with bugs.
