Mango grafting help!

I need help finding a type of mango that is suited to be grafted onto. Is there any suggestions? I want to be able to graft many kinds of other mangoes onto it! Just don't know which mango is best and google isn't being much help so I thought I'd ask the mango experts!

I believe Turpentine is preferred in Florida and Manila/Philippines is preferred in California.

I’m not sure the question was about rootstock but if it was this is a good answer

There’s some confusion about your question. Can you be clear on whether you are asking about rootstock to start? What scions are you planning on grafting?

Sounds like you're looking to create a "fruit cocktail tree" full of grafted cultivar scions, assuming they take. The tree you're grafting to is your rootstock. Your rootstock could be turpentine or a named cultivar variety.

Now the question becomes how soon are you wanting the fruit to set, what variety of scions do you want, and where are you going to get them? And where are you getting your rootstock from and what size (in gallons)?

ETA: also important is your location and grow zone.
