Default Fruiting Cactus, spineless for Florida

A few years ago I planted a prickly pear that was given to me and it has grown and this year is finally fruiting. While sensitive to extreme cold it has grown well with little to no care on my part. I have planted some of the stems and they root and grow also. So I see that cactus is viable plant for area.

Question what are the best fruiting varieties for Zone 8B for Florida with about 60 inches of annual rain fall? Spineless would be preferred. I plan also to eat the stems. I am one of these people if it does not fruit I do not have too much interest in it so I have little interest in the ornamental varieties.
