I also planted seeds from Susquehanna pawpaw seeds from peaceful heritage.. so someday when those trees are larger and fruit the fruit should be excellent too.. the rootstock question - If you had a specific tree that had excellent growth like 16-24 inches of growth in a season that would be a great cultivar to graft onto because it will grow quicker.. I think also having rootstock that is adapted to the zone and region you are from is helpful because it assures the tree will be able to adapt and thrive wherever you are.. Plus the rootstock may sucker some day and that will be a new variety if it ever flowers and makes fruits from the graft on the original rootstock..
