How do you have a favorite rice? No offense, what's the difference between this and "normal" long grain white rice?
Calrose Rice is a medium grain rice. It is fluffier, more moist than long grain and has somewhat of a sweet taste and can be used to make sushi. I prefer this rice too over a long grain rice

Off the top of my head the obvious differences would be starch content, aroma, flavor, and nutrition. Beyond that would be factors such as country of origin, processing, soil contamination/pesticides, and cost.
If brand isn't important, check Costco. They sell 50lb bags of Calrose rice for $24 (<$0.50/lb) vs this deal's ~$1/lb
Edit: This is in SF/Bay Area. Prices may be different in other markets.
Price are different in other markets, but in most places, Costco has large bags of medium grain rice somewhere under $0.90/lb. West Coast US is generally where it's cheapest, though.

Calrose is a medium grain. I've switched to short grain and there's nothing quite like it.
Try a haiga genmai short grain. More flavorful, and with the nutritional benefits of a brown rice, but the texture and cooking properties of white rice.
In the US, I recommend Kagayaki. California grown, but recent Japanese stock. Their sushi rice is also fantastic. If you're in California, you can find the 20# bag on sale for under $1/lb. Otherwise... $25 for a 5# bag, on Amazon. I occasionally see it for less than $1.50/lb in Asian markets near DC.

Aroma aroma aroma aroma. You might have a lot of variety in the physical outcomes of steaming rice in different ways, but only good quality and fresh rice will give you better aromas. If you've ever had COVID you know that aroma can feel like 90% of taste.
And that's one reason not to use Walmart or AMZ for rice: the bags of rice ending up on there might be rejects from other stores with aging expiration dates. No way to tell until you get it, and sometimes no mechanism for return.

I wouldn't take any advice from this person. 1) they think rice expires 2) they don't know rice is purposely aged to improve flavor and aroma.....
lol, you are the one that doesn't know what you are talking about. Rice's quality degrades over time, especially in areas with higher humidity. That's why old crops from a year or two ago go on sale. When have you ever seen "premium aged rice" sold for more $? lol It's not like wine. If you pay attention, you'll also notice many stores put a sticker that says "New Crop" to entice customers because true rice lovers know new crops taste so much better. My mom's family runs a rice farm, so yes, I know what I'm talking about.
