My cats and I like Ever Clean Low Tracking litter. It clumps nicely so they don't fall apart when you scoop them out. Despite being low track, I still get plenty of litter outside the box though so I just keep a small vacuum next to the box to clean up.
As far as smell goes, this litter has little bits of carbon in it which locks in smells. I have a litter box about 2 feet from my bed and the only time I ever smell anything is right after a cat poos in it. I don't think any litter out there will ever make fresh poo smell like roses
Basically, find a quality litter that your cats like and go with it. I'd avoid the 'generic' brands as they may not clump very well and when the clump breaks apart, it leaves lots of unscoopable used litter which can lead to smell buildup.
Also, scooping out the litter daily will help with odors. I got one of those litterlock things and I just love it. Now I can clean out the box every night but not have to take a bag of stinky clumps out to the trash every night. I haven't noticed a problem of smell coming out of the litterlock either.
Try any brands recommended here or anything that tickles your fancy at the pet store and see what your cats love.
