Around here, in Western Wisconsin, the only variety on the list that I have 
found grown locally is the Honeycrisp, and we like it.  CRISP and juicy and 
sweet.  I usually like a tarter apple, like Haralson, but we have been buying 
a bushel of Honeycrisp in season (until our tree starts to bear), and we eat 
them fast enough that we have no direct knowledge of how long they might 
store.
 
I understand, though, that they are quite particular in the climate that they 
need to grow them well, sort of like McIntosh I suppose, in that they might 
not be anything special in some parts of the country.
