Sour diesel is definitely one of my favorites. Its in the catagory of strains that are all tied for 1st place in my eyes. You can't beat that smell/taste, and I love the color/look of it. You had better be able to hide the smell coming from your grow room with that stuff though. Cheese is popular, as is AK47, white widow can be grower friendly. I wouldn't concern yourself too much with debating this subject. I would pick the plants based on the area you have to grow, in relation to their expected size. Sativas can stretch ridiculously huge even if you start them flowering really early. Indicas are much easier to control the size of. And then of course pick them based on your specific medical needs since I'm guessing you're growing your own medicine here.

If you want buds that have some strong taste to them... Sour Diesel.
