Assuming your bun is older then 6 months, your bun's main food source should be TIMOTHY HAY, offered 24/7 and in unlimited amounts. A quality pellet should be given twice daily. 1/4 cup per 5lbs daily. 2 cups of fresh veggies. Fresh clean water available all the time.
Buy your pellets in the smallest bag you can. They do go stale. Unless you can freeze whatever you can not use in one month. For example, I have one 5lb bun. I purchase a 50 lb bag and separate it into gallon size Ziploc bags and put them in the deep freezer. I take them out as I need them. If you don't have room for that, buy a smaller bag.
Here is a "Bunny Basics" Care guide.

RABBIT Feeding Information Because of the wide commercial availability of nutritionally rich pellets, properly nourishing rabbits is not difficult. Rabbits can remain perfectly healthy if provided a basic diet of pellets and fresh water. Plenty of food and water should always be made available. Pellets When purchasing pellets from your local pet store, be sure to buy fresh pellets. Rabbit pellets should be stored in the refrigerator, and any food that will not be used within a two month period should be frozen for later use. To prevent waste, buy only what you know your pet rabbit can consume over two months. Water Rabbits should have water made available to them at all times, especially during the hotter seasons of the year. A hanging drops-style water dispenser is a great solution for keeping water from spilling and keeping it free of contaminants. d. Fresh Fruit and Vegetables You may want to occasionally treat your rabbit to fresh fruits and vegetables as supplements to their diet. Rabbits especially love apples, carrots, lettuce, spinach, grass, clover and alfalfa. These foods helps regulate the rabbit’s digestive system and helps prevent intestinal problems. Fresh fruits and vegetables should NOT replace the nutritionally dense pellets, as these fresh dietary supplements are mostly water and do not contain the essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that the pellets provide. If rabbits are provided a regular diet of pellets, fresh water, and occasional fruits and vegetables, additional vitamin supplements do not need to be part of their feeding routine.

Oxbow Bunny Basics is your best bet. If your rabbit is young, go with the alfalfa based pellets. If your bun is over one year, use the timothy based pellets. Timothy hay should be the largest portion of your rabbit's diet and should be given in unlimited amounts. Oxbow also sells excellent quality timothy hay. Vegetables and fruits can also be given in addition to pellets and hay. Following is a link to Oxbow: http://www.oxbowhay.com/index.sp?page=index

Hay. The majority of any rabbits diet must be hay. Timothy hay is a good choice. Stay away from alfalfa, it is too high in protein and calcium and will cause health problems. Feed only 1/4 cup of rabbit pellets per 5 lbs. of weight. per day. Small bites of vegies and fruit can be offered as a treat. See www.rabbit.org for more ideas.

Any brand is good, EXCEPT for Kaytee brands. I was told by a Veterinarian that they make "junk" products. I know of "L & M" Farms, I think the name is of rodent food.
"All living things" has a line of pet food varieties too.
Go to the Exotic pet stores and see what brands they carry and ask at the counter.
