Default Need help with sensitive stomach diet

So today I got back from what is hopefully our last vet visit for a while. Lolli has been doing really good and everything so now we are to introduce a real diet back into her life. The vet says we could get a prescription diet for Hills ID, but he doesn't entirely think we need to at this time. He says if we want to try an over the counter sensitive stomach diet, it will cost us less and we may be able to stick with a diet like that instead of a prescription.

So I did a tiny bit of searching at PetsMart today at the various sensitive stomach/digestive health diets and I wrote them down and any specifics it said about the diet. So I'm hoping someone could help lead me in the right direction on what might be a good one to try. I had some good advice given to me by a fellow YTer and she mentioned that brand name isn't always as important when dealing with a food sensitivity and it's just moreso important on what works for your dog. The problem is, we have no idea. So perhaps someone might be able to give some enlightenment on something.

So here's my list of what was available at my local Petsmart (if it's just a brand name listed, that means it was for sensitive stomachs and it didn't necessarily specify anything diet-wise or anything else on the label right away):

Science Diet (isn't this Hill's in non prescription?)
Eukaneuba
Purina
Purina One (Sensitive Systems)
Natural Choice (w/ Oatmeal for sensitive stomachs)
Natural Choice (sensitive skin & stomach w/ brown rice)
Nature's Recipe (Easy-to-Digest, chicken or salmon "meal")
