Seems like both are excellent taste wise, however Cecilove has a more manageable growth habit.

I'm finally gearing up to get things in ground next spring, essentially having spent the last year sampling fruit, getting small trees, and prepping my yard. I have space for four medium-large trees, and two small-medium left in my garden plan. I know I don't need to fill every spot I've mapped immediately, but I'm kind of a plan twice dig once gardener. So now that this year's mango season is wrapping up does anyone have recommendations for what to look into sampling/buying next year beyond what I already have?
This is what I already have (or have on order):
Buttercream
Cecilove
Coconut Cream
Dwarf Hawaiian
Fruit Punch
Harvest Moon
Honey Kiss
Ivory
Little Gem
Mun Kun Si
Nam Doc Mai #4
Orange Sherbet
Pickering
Pina Colada
Seacrest/Triplesec
ST Maui
Sugarloaf
Sweet Tart
Zill M-4
Zill P-22
Zill 3-18 'Honey'
Zill 40-17
Zill 40-26
So far Carla, Peach Cobbler, and Venus are on a short list for possible additions. Ones I tried and for sure didn't enjoy were PPK, Guava (Sein Ta Lone), Irwin, and Zill.
I'm also growing non-mangos (loquat, sugar apple, sapodilla, jaboticaba, mulberry, persimmon, banana, figs, etc) but I'm rather particular about food textures so I'm afraid I'm not as adventurous on that front.
I’d have to say sweet tart…cac was pretty good also but some tasted bad it just depended on ripeness
Honey kiss hit well
As well as m-4 probably my favorite one although not sweet as sweet tart
Mango manor said Fruit Cocktail.Who's "mango manor?" Never mind. I found his YouTube channel. He puts rocks around his trees. That's weird.
