I try the pretty ones that fascinate me and then decide whether to keep growing them based on yield, cooking/baking qualities, etc. (Kind of like some of us do with tomatoes.) Two that I grow every year are:
Hidatsa Red ~ bush habit, medium size rosy-red beans, tolerates hot and wet seasons equally well, very productive, easy to shell

Mary Ison's Little Brown Bunch ~ bush habit, medium tan seeds with chocolate brown stripes, tolerates hot and wet seasons very well, very productive, easy to shell
