Default Few Good Fellows.. for 2018

I am going cut back drastically in 2018. My plan is to stay under 15 varieties and 30 plants.
This year I had about 32 vars over 60 plants. Lots of disappointments and disease magnets.

here are my picks so far:
-- Dark / Purple >>>
a) Not Sara Black
b) IS-PL : Beats the heat of the south. Amazingly. Thanks , Bill.
c) Brown Heart ( my own )
d) CP ( recall from retirement )

-- Saladett :
a) Stupice : Cause it is early, productive, practically no cracking/splitting.

---Cherry
a) Esterina F2 /F3
b) Sungold : Amazing It Has been the earliest and continues to fruit in the heat of south, disease resistant.
c) Tiger grape/heart ( my own )
d) Indigo Cherry Drops; Fruity flavor.

-- Bi Color
a) Big Rainbow: Productive. One of the few to continue fruiting.
b) Hillbilly: Because I like the color. Not productive though.

-- GWR
ARGG: Because it is tasty. AND its fairly heat tolerant.

--Reds :
a) Cuostralee : Beats the heat, productive. Only it is a bit late.

So far 13 varieties ? I can take 2 more red and pink beefsteak/slicer.

WHAT I NEED :
couple of reds and pinks that can stand the heat. Big Beef shut down completely. So did Brandy Boy.
I will grow German Queen , prolly.
Any recommendations for red/pink that will beat the heat of the south ? Better Boy ( from my second season planting ) seems to be doing fine w/decent fruit set.
