It's also got to have good flavor.
Absolutely!!!
Experimenting with chilies in the 900,000 scoville range thing is just for the bravado, nothing more.
Love the flavor of habaneros but will de-seed and de-vein them and gradually add them to a dish for the right spice. Also absolutely love Hatch chilies and those can rate from mild to a nice heat level... but if you've never had those, go to New Mexico during Hatch season and get a bushel roasted. The'll put them in a large plastic bag to let them steam for a couple of hours after the roasting. When you open that bag...
the smell
is
heaven!!!
