DS has only ever had the Happy Baby brand - which was good, as they're the cheapest! He was given one in SCU, that's all they use, so that's what I continued to use at home.

I tried him on a couple of others that I had waiting at home, but he was not interested.

Lulu, that's just in relation to BFing, dummies are safe for newborns if that's what you meant. You can even get premmie ones! And in some cases it's okay to use them in the early days of BFing, it's just generally not recommended.
