I've grown Packman, Green Comet, Umpqua, Waltham 29, Dia Green, Arcadia, Gypsy, Premium Crop, and Marathon. My favorites are Arcadia, Gypsy, and Marathon for taste, reliability, and good sized heads.
Carol, agree about the side shoots. The side shoots make broccoli a much more "efficient" crop--they really increase the overall yield, as well as spread it out over the season.
