I don't have the patience to be a good carrot grower <g>  And don't like to 
have to "work" to get veggies.  That is why I quite having a dedicated area 
for carrots.  They go in with just about anything I'm planting and I seem to 
have a better germination rate when I intersperce them with other plants.

I've found they don't like things like parsnips and celery.  They really 
love peas and do quite well in my salad bed (green onions, lettuce, 
radishes).

If you are going with just two, I'd use Red Core Chantenay and Danvers.  We 
do love the Little Fingers for salads.  And the Half-Longs seem a little 
more tempermental <g>
