I currently drink pop that has aspartame in it and would like to stop that. Does anyone have suggestions on fizzy waters that don’t have aspartame? I know I should switch to regular water or dasani drops in my water but I would like options!

I like Canada Dry Club Soda which comes in 3 or 4 flavours (very light in flavour), no sweeteners. Superstore has them. I also use a sodastream to make carbonated water. There is a large choice of flavours you can add but I usually have mine plain. Canadian Tire has the machines and flavours.

If you can find Zevia can drinks there is no aspartame.

You can buy that at home Soda machine (soda stream??) and do your own water! That’s what my FIL does. He just adds fresh juices to it if he wants flavour.

President's Choice Free & Clear is a sparkling water. It has stevia and comes in a variety of flavours. Available at Shopper's Drug Mart and Superstore.  
 
1 liter bottle is approx $1.38.

Just really most sparkling waters. La Croix (expensive) and Bubly (less expensive) are two examples in addition to what's cited above. There's no sweetner, period. But they still have flavour and bubbles.  
 
Alternatively, what I will sometimes do is mix plain soda water with a splash of 100% juice. Just enough to flavour it, you're getting a small amount of sugar from the juice but it seems somehow more wholesome, LOL. I find it's the carbonation I crave more than anything, but can't hack plain soda water. Sometimes a squeeze of lemon does the trick too.

I think a SodaStream is a great idea. There are a few different types so what would you suggest?

try using Perrier carbonated natural spring water.  
 
I use the cans 250 ml cans so I know I have to drink that much and it doesn't go flat. I don't drink them cold. You may think they are on the pricey side but just think how much you save in buying pop. Only contain water and carbon dioxide.  
 
drinking these: reduced my diet coke drinking so much. Like I was a heavy duty diet coke drinker.  
 
I also just buy diet coke in those 6 bottle packs. Then pour it into a glass and that's all I have.  
 
If you use cans then you drink way too much. This way you just get that kick of diet coke.  
 
Though I find that I drink the water more and more than the diet coke.  
 
I initially tried the flavoured water but that didn't help wanting the diet coke.
