Stirling has a line of shampoo bars now that are pretty good. Recently added a few new scents to the original three. My favorites are Baker Street and Bergamot Lavender.
I used Mike's bars for about a year before I switched to Mystic Waters. The bars from MW are a bit small though so despite the great performance the cost was higher because they only lasted about a month.
I tried the shampoo bars from Stirling but they were a bit drying on my skin.
I'm now using bars from Chagrin Valley, and while they're more expensive than most, the bars are massive in size and last a LONG time. I'm a daily washer and I've been using the same bar for two months and it's not even halfway through yet. The CV shampoo bars are the best I've used yet.

Since this thread was started nearly two years ago, I've tried PAA, Stirling, Mystic Water, Mike's, and Damn Handsome Grooming shampoo bars. But mostly, it has been Stirling and MW. I love the scent variety from Stirling and the longevity of the MW bars which tend to last for 10-12 weeks for me. I decided to try the Chagrin Valley version next and it arrived yesterday afternoon (along with a few samples). Mr_Smartepants was right, the bar is huge...really looking forward to seeing how it performs and how long it will last.

I like the PAA shampoo pucks as well and have used them for about a year. I just ordered some more today. I've got a couple of Stirling shampoo bars as well - I've tried one so far and its pretty good but the square shape isn't as "ergonomic" as the round PAA puck - minor gripe.
Stirling sent me a shampoo bar sample with my January Sale Day order. It was my first experience with a shampoo bar (margaritas in the artic). I am now a "convert" and will be switching from bottled shampoo to shampoo bars. The bar produces fantastic lather and my hair was literally "squeaky clean". I will continue to use a conditioner with the shampoo bar. There are many vendors offering shampoo bars, and Stirling has a great selection of scents. IMHO you should try a sample shampoo bar if you never have used one. As they say...don't knock it until you have tried it!
