I agree that Paulaner and Erdinger are in fact excellent beers, and classic examples of the style, but these just happen to be my favorite 5. Butternuts primarily making the list because it's a great summer session beer, and being in a can, camping friendly. The price point doesn't hurt your wallet, either. Tough category to trim down to 5, as I feel that Hefeweizen isn't a style that's flooded with a lot of mediocre examples. Anyways, cheers - R Byron: to each his own, I guess.

I'll be sure to try the Erdinger next time I'm picking some up. Have you ever tried Julius Echter hefeweizens? I dig both the light and dark versions.

While Schneider and Weihenstephan are safe choices for hefeweizen, I find it hard to believe there is no Paulaner or Erdinger on the list. These two define the the fruity (paulaner) and astringent (erdinger) style variations of bavarian hefeweizen. Having lived in Munich before hefeweizen was heard of in the US, butternuts and sierra nevada have a huge bar to clear when tried by me. Oh, by the way, Franziskaner is a middle of the road weizen.
