imo you have to be careful - too much refined sugar can just give a 'rush' rather than a sustained source of energy.
Usually fibre, such as found in 'wholegrain' cereals, can mediate that 'rush' - so sugar puffs, which afaik are made from whole wheat, may not be so bad, despite the high sugar content.
The cereals which have removed fibre, then added sugar are the 'worst', but even they can be improved by adding back fibre such as quinoa or oat bran.
