Which chillies should I grow this year? Looking for ideas, recommendations

Hi. Question above. Last year I grew mostly habaneros (reds and orange) and some carolina reapers. I still have some seeds from last year so these I will not buy, but I'm looking for something new to grow as well. What are some of the chillies you grow that taste well? Any recommendations/suggestions would be well appreciated.
 
If it helps, I usually make my hot sauce with peaches as a base. Also, not planing to ferment any as I just don't like the  strong vinegary taste of fermented hot sauce.
Currently I have my eyes set on 7 Pot bubblegum and Peach Ghost
 
Scotch Brains are very flavorful.
 
Bhut Jolokia (many, many colors and crosses) are always a good choice.
 
Not super hots, but Jalapenos are great for snacking on or making poppers.
 
Too many more to list...
 
Regarding the BBG7's...
I've grown several different types for the last several years, and in my garden they are less productive than most other peppers. Even other superhot varieties.
They were also less flavorful than other chinense peppers.
The Peach Ghost has way more traditional flavor, and WAY more heat than a typical BBG7.
But, that's JMHO
