One of the best I have had is an African diploid called 'Muraru Mshale', it is thick and creamy but very firm with a strong banana flavor, similar to 'Gros Michel' but with a bit more of a general fruity flavor about it. Another favorite is an East African Highland banana called 'Mbwazirume', it is great cooked and raw when ripe, it is soft but firm with an interesting tang. However, I've never had a banana I didn't like and generally just take note of their differences rather than rank them by preference.
