Green leaf lettuce usually.
Some nice ones will do arugula instead

Butter lettuce

Depends on the burger. Different greens have different characteristics, which make them good on different burgers. Arugula (or, if you want to go more extreme, nasturtium leaves) are peppery and spicy, and can cut the richness of a heavy burger. Butter lettuce is soft and delicate. Romaine has a watery, crunchy texture. Leaf lettuces are flavorful and medium-textured. You could also go with other things, like sorrels (sour), mustard greens/mizuna (again, spicy), herbs, or the leaves off young vegetables.

Iceberg or Romain should do the trick. Not sure what other kind of lettuce you may have had on a burger.

I don't know what lettuce goes on most good burgers, but my favorite lettuce is red leaf and I put it on burgers whenever I make them at home.

I think the one in your picture just gets called "round" or "green leaf" which are both fucking useless names for lettuce.
What about using cabbage/collard leaves instead?

raw cabbage? maybe if it was shredded but not just a leaf
>the kind of lettuce you get on good burgers?
None.
