Default which variety to buy?

i grew ichiban last year and liked it. naturally the greenhouse isn't carrying it this year!

so, 2 plants, each in a 5 gallon container, in nw connecticut, i'd like some advise if possible before friday when i want to buy these 2 plants. the choices are slim!

i'm leaning towards little fingers 14" tall, 65/68 days, heavy (?) producer sounds good for a container variety, fast producer.

lavendar touch at 63/66 dtm sounds good but is it a large plant? flavor? it's basically white with a lavendar blush. my guess is all eggplants regardless of color taste about the same, is that true? compare to little fingers?

dusky and classic looks in size and dtm to be like black beauty. all 3 produce fruits that are too big, too many days to wait for them.

thanks,

tom
