What is the "hot" hot pepper in the pepper growing world. Douglah? 7's or Scorps?

It's a strain that I've devoted about 3 or 4 years of my time to making sure it's stable. It's a cross between a Piquin and a Fire Serrano (hence the name Passow Piqrano). It combines the best trates of both plants (the Piquin is the mother plant).

It grows like a Piquin (big, tall, bushy), grows a ton of peppers (just like the Piquin), has down hanging fruit (like a Serrano) that are medium/thin walled (like a Serrano but slightly thinner) are FILLED with juice (burst in your mouth like a Piquin) and taste FANTASTIC (just ask AJ, he's had them). Definitly a high end Medium heat.

He had a piquin plant that grew random large pods and turned out to be stable.
 
Different strains that I'm about to stablize are:
  • Neon Lamp (C.chinense x C.frutescens)
  • Red Bud (C.chinense x C.frutescens)
  • Pervert's Tongue (C.annuum x C.frutescens)

Projects in progress:
  • OSE12 (C.chinense x Classified)
  • Scorpion X (Classified)
  • Omri's New & Improved Jolokia (Selective Breeding of a Raja Mirch)
    [*]
and some others I'm still getting together.
The most difficult problem I encountered was the lack of fertility in the C.chinense x C.frutescens crosses.
 
I've been working with some really aggressive methods stabilizing them and I'm pretty sure the top three are ready, but will grow them another year just for observation.
