What game modes do you prefer? There are some commanders that are good for team games, but not so great for 1v1.

Personally I like the Ostheer commander, Lightning War.

Tiger ace, soviet industry, mechanized assault (is that one free?), and the partisan doctrine with the two types of partisans offer the most new options. Other premium commanders are just different combos of freely available units.
That idiot thought he won. In fact, he was wrong. Completely mistaken.No M3 he what things are not，just one moron.
The German oil scarcity, rare tanks cannot fight the Allied torrent. Kill the house to kill the German oil.
Every time lose may feel bad. Probably not the word lose your subconscious. Maybe I win you Not for the first time Maybe you you should go to recall,

Spearhead 100%
Elite Troops (Tiger Ace)
Soviet Industry (KV 2)
Mechanized assault (Stug III E, Assault Grens)
Luftwaffe Supply
Mechanized Support
Also worth getting, but not essential:
Osttruppen
Armored Assault
Joint Operations
Eventually you will unlock some of the very good commanders like Assault Support (Tiger, opel) once you level up.

Mechanized Assault and/or Spearhead for single player and Joint Operations is great fun if you are supporting in a large team game.
Mechanized Support Tactics and Partisans both give you arguably the best ability in the game: Mark Target as well as ISU-152 or Spy Network "hax."

You asked for new options and flexibility?
So, in no particular order:
German
Luftwaffe
Trade MP for Fuel and Munitions (Good for fast tech)
Medical Supply is worthwhile
Other abilities are very good
Elite Troops
Elite Training breaks a basic concept and people either love it or loath it.
Tiger Ace is only availible here
Mechanised Assault
Con Spam for the Germans.
Very fun
Ostruppen
Not fashionable but can be interesting
Currently I think the only doctrine with fuel to munitions conversion, which is hilariously abusable, especially in team games
The rest are solid, or even very good but not very different
Soviet:
Counter Attack
B4 Howitzer and KV1, neither is especially great but they are fun
Soviet Industry
Elite Troops distaff side
Do you like tanks?
Only way to get a KV2
Partisans
Everyone's forgotten about these but they are super annoying to play against if used even remotely correctly.
Good in team games
Urban Defence
Good on some maps. Also obscure enough that it can really shine if your opponent doesn't know how to counter it or picked the wrong doctrine

Thanks a lot to all of you!
I usually play 1v1 or 2v2, no larger engagements.
Are there commanders shining in 2v2 while not doing well in 1v1?

I play mainly 1v1 games and find these the best DLC doctrines for my playstle.
Ostheer = Joint Operations, Lighting War and Spearhead doctrines.
Soviets = Terror tactics, Mechanized Support and Industry.

Mechanized assault is a good commander, it gives you assault grenadiers who perform well at close range and are useful early in the game, the stug model E is a great anti infantry unit if the sovet player goes shock troops or even guards,
And of course you get a tiger as well
The commander you choose depends on your play style just ask yourself what would benefit you the most or that you would get the most use out of .

If you want a good commander, then spearhead is a very good choice. I use it for all my 1v1 matches. Basically I will decide how the game is to be played out. My opponent will have to reply to my actions.

Spearhead and Joint Operations are both paid DLC commanders. Pace, a lot of people have had them since day 1 since they were included with pre-orders. Both of those are very, very good in 1v1.
For OP: in 2v2, I think that Assault Support and Jaeger Armor are probably the best for Germans, work very well together, and are free. I don't want to speak on Soviets in team games, since I don't have much experience there.

My username gives away what I'd probably recommend.
Also Van Voort has it down pretty well. It is actually up to your own capabilities and then choose what you feel comfortable with.
If you are feeling Partisan, here's a thread of mine that sums up what I know about them. http://www.coh2.org/topic/18714/my-understanding-on-the-partisan-tactics

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
