It is best to look at company websites or contact the producer for recipes specific to their product. The chemistry can get tricky.
I just saw agave powder sold in packets at Trader Joe's.

I just passed by some coconut sugar at Whole Foods but I don't know anything about it, just that they sell it.

I'm of the camp that real sugar is healthier than anything artificial, though granted more caloric. And despite the agave hype that was, there has been much written since to suggest agave is not healthier than sugar either. I like using raw sugar.

If this is accurate, it has a lower glycemic index, more vitamins and can be subbed with sugar one for one.
