I’ts led me to stick with Cherry Belle and various types of watermelon radish since, but I love the look of French Breakfast. Opolanka is new to me.

The FB's have been very mild for me except when the weather starts to turn warm. They grow well for me but Cherry bells do not. Go figure. You'd think a radish is a radish. Opolanka is a Polish radish I got at baker Creek. Turned out to be pretty much a clone of French Breakfast in size and color.
I also do two kinds of daikon when I remember to put them in.
One is a winter radish called 'Gauljeojang', one of the fat chunky types of daikon. Got the seed at a little Korean grocery and everything on the packet is in Korean so I can't give any more into. The other daikon is Minowasi, a long narrow type supposedly for summer but the sweet and crispy radishes turn hot as blazes when the weather turns warm here.
