I'm guessing you are going to buy these in a tackle shop in kilo bags?
Mainline bait is normally quite pricey. You might find that something from say dynamite works out cheaper and just as good.

Theres just so many flavours i was hoping someone has used them and could let me know if they had any good results as im not into glugging or other stuff as im new to carping want to go for trial and error before buying gluggs and that

If you are adamant on trying the mainline range,I would go for salty squid,banoffee and the ib I think they are called.I dont use mainline anymore as far better baits at much better prices imo

I have used manilla and not found it as good as krill.Im changing to dna baits this year and will only be using the S7 but have some different pots of wafters and pop ups as hook baits to fish over the S7

Yes they do S7 bottom baits,pellets I use crayfish mini mix but if using bigger pva bags I add a few small low oil pellets from a local animal feed shop

If you're new to carp fishing you shouldn't be fishing three rods imo. Concentrate fishing one then two rods effectively first. Location of fish and good angling is more important than your choice of bait.

Im not totally new to fishing carp i have done many sessions on 3 rods, im just still learning more about baits and what companies to go for and that i mainly fish bottom baits just getting into trial and error tbh. Yes that is good advice find the fish as at start i use to just prebait 1 area without locating the fish

Get a decent freezer bait mate. Probably half the prize per kg and twice as good if you buy 10 plus kilos.

If you insist on using Mainline Baits , i would run with The Cell mate , still catches a hell of a lot of fish.

As James has said below, get 10-20kg of freezer bait if you have the space. Most companies will deliver for around £6-7 per kg.

I use ABS Hydra-K and can't recommend it enough. Any ABS bait will catch if fished effectively.

If you are just doing days in winter, the most important choice is the water, make sure you are fishing a water with a solid winter rep. I would use the cell in very small amounts and experiment later in spring. Sorry but that's my thinking.
Are you sure?
