Default My first year growing beans

I tried the following varieties this year:
Scarlet Emperor (did really poorly here, no beans. I didn't know runner beans needed to be started with the peas.)
French Garden filet bush type (did ok but wasn't what I was looking for)
Meraviglia Di Venezia Bean (Did pretty well in a ceramic pot)
Dragon Tongue (just now getting beans)
Good Mother Stollard (got a half pound of dried beans from 8 plants)
Chinese Mosaic Long (1st crop started in June got a blight early on, second crop started in mid-July is still producing. I like these very much.)
Dixie Speckled Butterpea (really prolific here, still getting beans. Delicious, too.)

After having decent success trying to figure out what likes and doesn't like Delaware heat and humidity, I'm looking forward to next spring. Does anyone have suggestions on what polebean varieties I might want to try next year? I like a nice fat bean. Stringless doesn't matter to me. I like to eat shellies and dried beans. I would like to try to make leather breeches.

I've already gotten seeds for Doc Martin's and King of the Garden since lima's do so well here.
