I've grown all of those.  Poorman, Black Velvet, and Invicta are all reasonably sweet when well ripened, but (to my taste) are more for cooking than fresh eating.  Hinnomaki Yellow is very early and ripens to a rich apricot-like sweetness that's excellent for fresh eating.

Pixwell gooseberry is the type mostly sold in this area.  They are
easy to grow but are sour and make poor quality filling for pies. 
Today I received Poorman, Black Velvet, Invicta and Yellow Hinomaki
plants.  Has anyone  had experience with these gooseberries?  I grew
Pixwell for years and had no problems with diseases except mouse
damage but I don't think they are worth growing.
