There is variation in pest resistance, but it's so slippery, depending on
the climate. I can grow apples that have no disease and the same variety
would be a mess for someone in the climate of the midwest. However, I have
been looking for varieties that have resistance to insects, with no definite
results so far. Though one, "Redstone Gold" (sold by St. Lawrence) turned
out to have very good disease resistance, if no special insect resistance.
