The best ones are in Asia, you mentioning red with seeds I think you really ate Malayan apple which is soft and cottony and in my opinion lesser quality than wax jambu, (Syzygium samaranguense) the best varieties are in Indonesia Jambu air, Dalahari,Taiwanese brown sugar baby is probably the best one,but those are not in USA yet, in USA look for decent ones as Black diamond, Black king Kong, etc

Many died. The plants were grown from cutting of tooth pick size. Plants were not in good shape to ship in the first place. Green varieties tend to be sweeter. Last year, I have so much fruits, I tried to dry the cracked/split ones. I did not like the taste of the dried fruit. Here is a picture of the green one. The fruits get a tint of pink if not exposed to sun.
Yes, Ong has many good varieties. He got one of my "Kecil" varieties I got from Frankies in Hawaii. Ong propagated many of them. It is one of the best I think he has.
