Buttercream frosting

What is the best buttercream frosting recipe? It seems to me they are all made pretty much the same. Except some have heavy whipping cream and shortening.

Everyone preference is a little different. I do not like shortening in my frosting at all and not a fan of any super sweet and neither is my family. We prefer Swiss Meringue buttercream and I use a recipe lower in sugar than most of the recipes out there. We also like chocolate ganache, a mix of dark and milk chocolate.
