I've done a lot of research on their natural diets and have cared for multiple birds of many species (so I had to learn about each species dietary ecology) and have found that pellets are not and never will be the best dietary option for them (I can elaborate the reasons why, if you wish). I feed all my birds the same for breakfast: gloop and raw produce (one veggie, one fruit and one leafy green or cruciform) and I change the dinner based on the protein level the species needs. For budgies, it would be a good quality seed mix (ABBA 1600). I also change the diet from resting to breeding season by increasing the protein level (plain gloop in the resting season, gloop doctored by switching millet for quinoa and adding sprouts to it for the breeding season - I also add a bit of hemp seed to the regular seed mix I use for dinner AND I increase the multivitamin/mineral from two days a week to three).
But, if you have your heart set on feeding pellets, I would go with Tops and no other.
