What is a really good frosting recipe?!

I have a few :
For sugar cookie frosting (from AllRecipes.com):
"Ready in 15 min.
Original Recipe Yield 3 cups

Ingredients
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup shortening
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring
Directions
1.In a large bowl, cream together the confectioners' sugar and shortening until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and stiff, about 5 minutes. Color with food coloring if desired."

For cream cheese frosting (from AllRecipes.com):
Ready in 10 min.

"Ingredients
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1.In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Store in the refrigerator after use. "

For creamy butter frosting (from About.com):

"Ingredients:
?1/3 cup butter
?1/4 teaspoon salt
?1 teaspoon vanilla extract
?1 pound (3 1/2 cups) sifted confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
?3 to 4 tablespoons milk or light cream, or to make smooth and spreadable
Preparation:
Cream butter, salt, and vanilla, beating with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar gradually, beating after each addition. Add 3 tablespoons milk or light cream, beating until smooth. Beat in more milk until desired spreading consistency is reached and the frosting is spreadable. Makes about 2 1/3 cups of frosting, enough to frost tops and sides of of an 8-inch 2-layer cake or a 10-inch tube or bundt cake, or about 1 dozen cupcakes."

The first two are my favorite. The last one is a bit too light for me, but that's just my opinion.
