If you have grown head lettuce before and found the flavour lacking, perhaps try a butterhead type which has a lot of flavour or any cos or romaine type for a richer more "lettucey" flavour.

Yep, and you might consider spinach also. Fresh spinach from a garden, in my humble opinion, bests any lettuce for taste.
