Aside from flavor, I think I have to choose jalapeño for its versatility. Pickled, raw, grilled, sautéed, stuffed, with stuff, by itself. Always great. I'm sure someone may counter me on this, but I think you can do a lot more with jalapeño.

I like keeping this at two choices, but if you wanted to expand it, you could add serrano, bird's eye/Thai, and maybe poblanos. I'd hesitate adding the superhots, but that's just me.

Habaneros add a terrific 'tropical' flavor but you basically have to rethink your meal due to the heat. There's little point in trying to pair a good wine with it. Jalapenos are fine but I don't get excited about them.

I will definitely read and participate. It's been too long (a few months) since I made a hot sauce.
