I'll second the caution about Clapp's - I've got one in my 
orchard.  Produced nicely for a couple of years, then FB ate it alive - I 
pruned out well over half of the 7-yr old tree that year, just trying to 
stay ahead of it.  It's alive but it looks like heck; another attack and 
it's gone, to be replaced by something more resistant.
