The best food is one you dog does well on, likes to eat, and you can afford to feed.
Orijin and Acana are not owned by Purina, but rather by a private equity firm that bought a major share of the Champions Brands company that produces them. I've always been of the opinion that they are over-priced and over-hyped.
Instinct raw is okay, if you've got the money and are squeamish about doing a DIY prey model raw diet. (Hearing those bones being crunched can be pretty unnerving.)
I've fed a lot of different foods over the years, from grocery store brands to high end "super-premium" foods, with a variety of results. Currently, my dogs are on Purina Pro Plan, usually the Focus Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon and Rice formula.
This is a good book, written by an actual canine nutritionist. Dog Food Logic - Making Smart Decisions for Your Dog In An Age Of Too Many Choices It's not overly long, but is packed with information.
