I've been in the same boat - spent many many hours
trying to pick which varities.  The problem is what 
thrives/resists insects and disease/tastes good 
varies greatly with the climate, so it's hard to get 
advice except from locals.  

This chart was helpful for comparisions:
  http://tfpg.cas.psu.edu/tables/table1-6.htm

I ended up choosing a couple of highly disease 
resitant and a couple of unique heirlooms, figuring
we'd get at least some apples, and I could replace 
the heirlooms if they didn't work out.  I'll have the
first small crop this year.
