For my home in San Diego I picked the following based on shorter stature, variations in taste and use, and cool weather hardiness:

1000 Fingers
African Rhinohorn
Dwarf Brazilian
Dwarf Orinoco
Dwarf Namwa
Sweetheart

Now Jon (pitangadiego) has picked varieties based on sheer joy of growing bananas. He only has a hundred or so growing in his front yard. You should visit him and buy some plants while you are at it. He also has the best and most diverse selection of Fig varieties anywhere.
