I feel your pain. I had a cat with some digestive issues and decided to get better quality canned. I have 3 litter mates, so the goal was to get something they would all eat and could tolerate. I did not order from the internet because I had read enough to know this would be a challenge. They actually love Fancy Feast pates, but I was worried that the one with digestion issues was suddenly reacting to something in them. It got to the point where the Petsmart people were giving me this look like "why does she keep trying different foods and bringing back half of them?" The female cat tried to bury nearly everything I tried. She actually did eat the Nutro soft loaf (but not the chunky loaf), so texture was also an issue. I even have to cut up the shreds of the Weruva flavors she likes up before serving them, so yeah, cats are a pain. In my process, I found that 2 of my cats had daily hairballs on certain foods as well, so that crossed those off the list. At least for now, if you have a rotation your cat likes, I would try to go with that. I now only have a few canned foods I feel I can feed with confidence. Anything else I try, I resign that they may eat a bite and leave me tossing the rest in the trash (and opening up something they will usually eat). I am fairly new to cat ownership, and I used to see my mother-in-law had magnets and such that said "Cats rule!" I always thought that meant that the person loved cats more than dogs or something. Now, I see that it means that cats rule the house in many ways, and this definitely includes what they eat!
