My favourite is  Garnier Ultimate blends The Sleek Restorer, in the brown bottle. It seems to be easier to distribute than some other conditioners, cleans really well, rinses easily, smells ok (I don't like heavily scented products) and is fairly cheap (often on offer in supermarkets)

Superdrugs own brand coconut conditioner πŸ™‚ or occasionally the teatree oil one. Doesn't feel as moisturizing, but has a more refreshing feel to it than the coconut. Plus, no silicones and cruelty free πŸ˜€

Do you not like it? Or do you use it as a second conditioner usually?

Oh no, I do like it! I just use it as a second conditioner, always after shampoo. So I can just drop the shampoo? Or is there a transition period

Entirely up to you and how greasy your hair is. You can either go straight to CO and wash more frequently as the hair adjusts and then start to stretch the washing, or start mixing shampoo with conditioner and adding less shampoo at each wash until it is just conditioner.
Some people go 'cold turkey' and let their hair get really greasy between CO washes at the beginning, but I think this is what puts a lot of people off. I was washing with just conditioner every 2nd or 3rd day to begin with, just like I did with shampoo, but now my hair and scalp still feel clean after a week and I often don't wash more than every 10 days. Only washing 3 times a month really makes the colour last πŸ™‚

Thank you! Is there ever a point you have to use shampoo (apart from hair dye removal)

No, my hair goes all poofy and dry and my scalp goes all itchy if I use shampoo now. I only use it for fading and directly before I dye. My hair needs washing within 3 or 4 days after shampooing, it is much happier with just conditioner.
In the summer if i get sweaty I tend to just rinse with water in case anyone thinks I am unhygienic lol. I also live in the country so don't get that layer of grime that city dwellers have to deal with.
