I wasn't going to post a list, it seemed odd, but so glad I did, thanks Zip and dm for the excellent suggestions.

If I'm remembering correctly, there was a discussion here once about. It turns out there is no variety called Hatch -- it's a catchall name chiles actually grown in Hatch, NM. The varieties they grow there are "New Mexican" chiles can include Aneheim, NuMex Big Jim and all it's NuMex relatives.
I've grown NuMex Big Jim for a few years now and it's done very well. I grew Anaheim along side it one year and the Big Jim produced more and much larger chiles. I have seeds for a few of the others, but haven't tried them yet.
It is a bit late and rarely gets to the red stage, but I prefer them green. I roast, peel and freeze them and use them in a variety of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes.
