Hi Caz,
Saccharin in any form is fine to use. Personally I can't stand the taste, so I stick with Splenda. But if the taste is okay with you, go for it.
Liquid sweeteners are almost always carb free. The container should say on the label how much of it is equivalent to the same sweetening power of sugar. Just remember that powdered sweeteners are usually "spoon for spoon" with sugar, so if a recipe says to use say, ½ cup of powdered sweetener, that is the equivalent of ½ cup of sugar. Make sense?
Cheers,
Roz
