[2017] If you could only grow one pepper.. which would you select?

As the topic title,
if you had a choice of only surviving with growing one pepper (as of 2017), which pepper would you grow from the long list of peppers that currently exists?
 
 
Jamaican Scotch Bonnet.  The flavor of the ones I ran across and bought t the local Farmer's Market was amazing, with the burn it you include seeds, but also reminded me very much of a Datil.  These Bonnets were more meaty than Datils or Habaneros, and I haven't found the Habs to have as much flavor.  I have sprouted seeds of the JSB, and the Habs.  I also love the Jalepeno, as it is versatile. 
 
I haven't grown too many varieties yet, but of the ones I have, plain old orange hab. I'll be growing some p. Dreadies and some more mild peppers along with some baccatums next year though, so that will most likely change.
 
Some kind of thai pepper, maybe yatsufusa. They're wicked prolific and I eat one every day year round.

I´ve been pondering this question for about a month now; usually, I decide on Yellow Scotch Bonnets; i grew like a dozen different ¨strains¨ of those and honestly don´t think i´m too worried about which exact Yellow Bonnet I´d pick.
 
This past week or so, though, I´ve been leaning more to Yellow Fataliis.
