I normally use Nishiki for my sushi rice, but I've heard good things about Botan. Plus this is about a buck cheaper than Nishiki right now. Thanks and rep'd!
Sneaky Amazon gives you a 15% discount on Nishiki when you subscribe & save, but only 5% discount on Botan, so Nishiki is still a little cheaper. Despite the advertising, these brands are really not the same quality as the better brands sold sold in Japanese grocery stores or used in better sushi restaurants. We use them for family meals, though.

Sneaky Amazon heard you and regardless the lesser S&S discount, the Botan is now 13 cents cheaper.

Koshihikari (cultivar/varietal) rice are generally very good and pretty much all I buy. Brand wise, my personal favorites are Tamaki Gold (#1) . I also like Tamanishiki as well. They are expensive, but my local Japanese grocery stores put them on sale every few months and I try to stock up when they do.
That said, if your main goal is making sushi, I believe Sasanishiki (cultivar, not brand) is preferred - something about it not losing as much flavor even when cooled. I use Koshihikari for everything though so I don't have any brands to recommend.

Tried it recently and it is better than Nishiki according to my Japanese wife.
If anyone wants truly good rice, you should try Akita Otome. It's amazing.
But, when you make heavily seasoned dish like fried rice or dissolve it during cooking like konji, I'd opt for cheap rice like Botan since I'd rather not waste premium rice. With that said, be aware that sales like this at this particular time means that stores are trying to get rid of old batches. New crops come in fall, and old rice indeed doesn't taste as good.

Specifically for fried rice, short-grained rice is not great. It holds way too much moisture. It's possible, but it needs more time and effort to dry it out properly.
