What's the best fertilizer?

Agreed. If you have higher lighting dry ferts is the way to go but in a lower tech setup seachem is the line you want to use.
not true cuz you can make up your own liquid ferts using the dry stuff and save a ton. the amount you pay for the whole seachem line you can get dry ferts that will last you a year or more depending on the tank.

Extinct? Since when?
Dry ferts are the way to go if you are willing to takke the leap into mixing them up yourself. But I fyou had to get a ready made fertilizer, I would get either Seachem's Excel or Flourish.
all that is is just a liquid carbon. which even diy co2 would be better. excel really isnt a fert per say maybe its a high light tank? even some low light tanks need ferts.... like Fordtrannyman said really have to have more info before anyone can say much at all.
I agree that we need more info but I found that with low light tanks the plants don't need much of a fertilizer at all...but if this tank is beyond 1.5 wpg I would still say dry ferts.
Well, unfortunately I didn't see your replies b/c I went to the store pretty quickly but I came home with Flourish Excel. lol Next time I'll keep your suggestions in mind. The tank's 15g, and has 15w of light (I think lol). I got 2 new plants, Ludwigia and a sword plant. 
Should that be suffecient?

No! That is not enough light for either of those plants.
