Which condo/smallish mango tree variety to pick?

Chrobrego (Orlando 9b)

I need some help making a tough decision.

I have room for no more than two smallish mangos -- one in the ground in a small space and one in a large container. I already have Cogshall, Carrie, Pickering, Glen, Peach Cobbler, and a Mallika. The Glen, Carrie and Peach Cobbler are in the ground. The rest are in 45 gallon and 25 gallon pots.

I've narrowed the list down to:

Raposa, Florigon, Angie, Lancellite, Maha Chanok and Fairchilds

Six mangos that I want and only room for two.

What do you think?

Never got a chance to eat the fruit but if size is really important...I can saw Fairchild was the smallest and most compact one I had out of 3-4 condo mangoes

Pickering is known as a condo mango. Here is a video on it if it helps.

I am growing 'Ice Cream' variety which is also a condo mango but it is a very slow grower.
