I have had really good luck with Gypsy and Arcadia the last two years. Gypsy usually makes the larger main head but Arcadia is a side shoot marvel. Sometimes the side shoots on Arcadia can be almost as large as the main head and a few times I have actually gotten side shoots even larger than the main head. I am trying another one this year called Green Magic but I planted it later and don't know how it will do yet.

I usually have good luck with Snow Crown hybrid cauliflower and for really large cauliflower I always plant a few Bishops. Bishop takes anywhere from a week longer to 10 days to make but the heads can be enormous.
