I've grown both, too. I think the sweetness, and all flavor

Some growers could exclude rabbiteye because of their size
Good points. I'd thought variety might have more bearing on
flavor/sweetness than type.
Size might be a consideration for some folks - some of the rabbiteye
types get pretty large; some of my dad's plants almost require a
ladder to pick clusters in the top of the bush - some are easily 8+
ft tall and the clumps may well be 8-10 ft wide
