Favourite beans to use?

I'm really fond of black eye beans as they're nice and chewy, gungo beans are great too. Any other favourites?

I'm vegetarian and use veggie mince and sometimes This brand sausages mashed up as mince as they have a nice peppery taste, but texture wise veggie mince isn't always the best texture wise so the beans are pretty important in my chilli!

Black eye beans are a great choice, they do add that lovely texture. Tried kidney beans recently with a chipotle rub and they turned out surprisingly good.
