The newest one they are planting out in Oregon, 'Jefferson', is quite good.  
This one is mostly being sold for the in-shell market (about 10k acres 
planted over the last 4 years).  'Yamhill' is excellent, and is the main one 
which Ferrero is contracting with growers to plant because of its flavor and 
exceptional kernal quality.  ‘Sacajawea’ also has excellent kernal quality, 
but has been less popular because, while it has strong horizontal resistance 
to filbert blight, it doesn't have the immunity that the others do.  I have 
no idea how any of these would perform in zone 6.
 
If you aren't a fan of the flavor of ones you buy in the store, then is it 
just the taste of raw hazelnuts that you don't like?  There is some variation 
in flavor, but my own limited experience with them is that it is not nearly 
what I've come to expect in the fruit crops.

Can any of you comment on the taste of any of the blight-resistant
cultivars?
I'm not a fan of the common store-bought varieties but it seems there ought
to be some flavor variation. I'd grow some if that were the case.

After a decade or so, I'm seeing quite a bit of blight on my "blight 
resistant" filberts, including Jefferson, here in NY's Hudson Valley.
