I have had good luck with the Cornell releases White Gold and Black Gold.  
Both are self-fertile. Occasionally they crack, and some years I get worms in 
them; most years they are good.  Cornell has a new wave of releases out now 
but they don't sound like a step up from these two in terms of cracking and 
taste.

I am now trying several of the older softer varieties in the hopes of less 
cracking.  They are hard to source; I got my trees from Arboreum.biz.
