Gesunheit/Bless You are about equal here, but never God Bless

"Bless you" here.

Never Gesundheit; although many adults would recognise that from American TV/ films/ books it would be seen as pretentious. Like saying gasoline instead of petrol.

I have honestly only heard it once. And that guy was a pretentious prick.
So that might have coloured my view.

The only people I've known who say Gesundheit were deliberately choosing it as an atheist alternative to "bless you."

Yes, that's why I use it, but it was around plenty for me to see it as a reasonable option.
