hi again . I grew Aquadulce last year and they were great. they are  an overwintering variety

I would go for both Masterpiece and/or Imperial Green Longpod.

Picked when young they can be steamed whole.  Left until the beans are larger, but not bigger than a finger nail they are so tender.  They are green beaned varieties, which I think are better tasting than the white beaned varieties.  As their names imply they have long pods full of lovely little beans.
