Yeah, to me its flavor. A serrano (my personal favorite) tastes like a serrano. Plus it is dense, whereas most other chilis are more hollow. And I really like all three mentioned (in this order): serrano, jalapeno, ancho (poblano).
I like them hot, and some of the jalapeno "types" are not very hot. The one I'm looking for this year is a big jalapeno with heat. I'm going to buy plants. Any suggestions? I'm always afraid I'll get some bunk jalapeno plant producing peppers with nominal heat value, because that's happened to me before.
