I am looking for a really good, free DAW for music production. Right now, I have been using GarageBand, but have been temped to Waveform if not for the lack of instruments. What do y'all use?

I use Ableton personally, but as far as free DAWs go, Waveform might still be a good choice because it fully supports VST and AU plugins and there are plenty (free) out there.
Otherwise, I'd recommend Reaper. Not entirely 'free' (60 days unlimited free then a one-time $60 licence for non-commercial use). Super powerful DAW, but would also require VSTs or AUs anyway. It does come with a few basic instruments though, I believe.
Check out kvraudio.com for a huge database of free (and not free) VSTs.
