After talking to James Robin, and the fig experts at UCD, I've learned to love all figs. Fig trees, SOME, get much better over time. All of my Brown Turkey figs are good ones. It's also important to note that you have to know WHEN to pick a ripe fig. A day or 2 before optimum ripeness will give you a bland tasting fig.
One of my Greek friends has a huge 20+ foot tall Brown Turkey fig tree. She picks and sells figs every year but she picks them a day or 2 before they are fully ripe. To her, they are ripe. When she lets me pick them, I climb a ladder and picks the best ones. She says those I pick are sweeter and richer than hers. She said she picks them based on the color. I showed her the cracks and wrinkles in those I picked and now she knows what to look for. But she also said she has to pick the figs before the birds get them.
