Gooseberries are pleasant but bland, red currants are beautiful but also lacking in aromatics and whites aren't even beautiful and no taste improvement over the reds. Black currants to my taste buds are so much more complex and interesting than these others they should be considered an entirely different category.
I realize that this is a minority opinion on this list but apparently not in the rest of the currant producing world where black currants are cultivated much more extensively according to numbers I came up with while searching the web. I think this says a lot for the culinary potential of the blacks.
