I'm still browing Bush Beans, however I gave up on growing pole beans. In the beginning I had very good luck with Rattlesnake and Fortex Cross poles but it got so I couldn't get good results. The varities that I am using now are Pike and Cassidy bush beans. Both these varieties produce dark green, small sieve, straight beans and both tend to stand up well. For me Pike produces a concentrated set and Cassidy offers more of a continuous pick. Currently I have a Raised Bed of Pike which should be ready to pick starting the end of October. By growing a concentrated set it allows to get the most out of them in a couple of picks and then I can move on with a crop of Broccoli in the same RB.
