Best Edible Passiflora source (and varieties) in SoCal?

* * I want to grow a few delicious passiflora on my south-facing Z10 chainlink fence. So far I have a list of eight varieties, which I'd like help narrowing for my climate/need.

* P. edulis flavicarpa (the tart yellow lilikoi of Hawaii)

* P. edulis 'edulis' (the wrinkled purple fruit)

* P. edulis hybrid 'Frederick' (a cross of the yellow and purple above, with RED fruit)

* P. ligularis (Sweet Granadilla)

* P. miniata (Red Granadilla, winter-blooming, Similar to P, coccinea )

* P. ? 'gabriellliana' (stunning complex flower)

* P. ? 'etna' (Starlike purple flower)

* P. incarnata (aka Purple Passionflower/Ocoee/Maypop)

Where can I buy the more desirable fruiting passiflora vines in SoCal (I'm in NE Los Angeles)?

Who has feedback on these and other choice zone 10 edible varieties?

And who has good info on vine/sprawl size for these varieties? (Ht & W)

(Btw, who else is just a little freaked out that Gardenweb got eaten by Houzz?)
