What heads are you currently using?

I'm wanting to change things up a bit, and am looking for suggestions.
I currently use coated Ambassadors on the tops of all drums (Kick included) and clear Ambassadors on the bottoms (hazy on snare, coated Ambassador as the kick reso). I'm pretty happy with the kick sound, as I use a rolled up towel held together with some duct sitting inside the drum against the batter head... other than that it's an empty kick that I get a Bonham/Carlcok vibe going on.
I think with the rest of the kit I'm hearing a slightly drier attack, but with more tone... if that make sense. I've been curious about trying the Jack D heads from Aquarian, but nobody ever has them in stock...
Drums are Tama Starclassic Birch, w/ die-cast rims. Maybe getting some different rims (S Hoops?) would help? Any suggestions?
