My choice would be,
1. 783
2. 582
3. 712
4. 1097.5
But if you are looking for deep orange fruits, the 869.5 instead of the 712 for sure.

In my opinion I think the 1058 Houghton could do some damage this year. First year grew a 1120#er and 1082#er and maybe more!!! Same goes for the 1097 Beachy also, well actually, they're all good choices no matter which ones are planted.

I would definitely go with Carlos' choices and have a 1058 Houghton as backup for sure...

I'd grow the 963, 783, and 712 and make crosses like 963 x 783 because of the common 801.5 and 712 x 963 because of the common 935. I'd probably also grow the 1097.5 because I saw Vader's 1193 and was thoroughly impressed. Since all the seeds are wicked I'd pick them with crosses in mind.
