I fed Kaytee Timothy Complete for a while before switching to Oxbow Bunny Basics/T. It's a good pellet; I just prefer Oxbow. Generally a higher protein pellet is preferred for younger rabbits and if you're showing or breeding your rabbit it may also have different nutritional needs. This library thread may help you out as well.
