Hard question to answer. Depends on what you prefer taste wise. Do you prefer honey? berry? melon? Or just a figgy flavor. Lots of good ones out there. Peters honey was excellent this year. Hardy Chicago is excellent every year. Celeste was also good but more of a pure sugary fig. Not my favorite but was happy to have it. For your area Smith would also probably be a favorite. Rates right up there next to BM in flavor intensity and complexity.

If it was me I would add:  Green Ischia, RDB, Celeste, and JH Adriatic . Good Luck!

I would recommend a Mount Etna type, they are reliable producers and fairly vigorous in most any climate
