You are doing well at 1/2 cup. Make future changes by feeling of the ribs, the top of the hips, and the pocket of fat that is just above the set of the tail. If you keep your puppy trim enough that you can easily feel these points but they aren't sharp to the touch...you are feeding properly. The small pocket of fat should be barely discernable. Being over weight is very hard on their little bones and joints.
I use Royal Canin and I am very happy with it. There are some really good threads on what to feed. You can make a Masters Study on the nutritional values and which one is best. The proof is in the feeding, if your puppy is doing well and having no food problems....
