favorite peas? (esp. for their tender, tasty shoots)

[sinensis]

hey, about to do a baker creek seed order, and i'm trying to figure out what peas to get.
 
of course i love the pods (all kinds), but i'm a huge fan of pea tips:
 

 
maybe my favorite leafy green, i love ordering it stir fried with garlic at chinese restaurants
 
never grown peas before
 
i'm in illinois, near chicago
 
anyone know if some varieties are better than others for the edible shoots?

or if you don't know but have a general recommendation for a favorite cultivar, that's cool too
 
thanks, friends

I grow sugar anne snap peas, they are more compact and don't need much trellising. but i've never eaten the shoots

I think that sugar snap pea shoots taste the best. I’m not a fan of varieties that have the afila gene (the ones with really curly tendrils), because they have an unfortunate stringy texture.
