I grew Delicious last year and just planted a Pruden's Purple. Delicious did wonderfully despite being in a shaded spot. It was the workhorse of my garden last year and my aunt and uncle loved it. The Delicious tolerated all sorts of diseases and pests, while all of its neighbors died off. The squirrels loved it too until it discovered Stump of the World (didn't get to try any of it).
The taste was slightly above average, but leaps better than the average store bought hybrid. It's reliable for sure and I'll plant it again someday.
