I would grow both German Johnson and Indian Stripe.

I quit growing Lucky Cross because it rots too fast in the heat down here and it is just too sweet for me. I love KBX and have been growing it for many years with great success but I am scrapping it because even though I find it the best of all the golds I have ever grown. I know it is blasphemy to say but it just doesn't have the intense flavor of a good pink or red to me and seems a bit bland in taste comparisons. Aunt Ginnies did really well for me and was very productive but did not have outstanding flavor the two years I grew it. I will try it again to be sure because it held up well in my garden both seasons.

I too am trying Sioux for the first time this year after three years of very limited success with Nepal. From everything I have read it should fare better in this hot humid climate.
