Best Blueberries for S. California Coastal Area

Okay, time to ask the esteemed members of this forum their opinions on blueberries. I have an area on my side yard where I have three very large terra cotta pots that I can set up drips for. I plan on putting in a Prime-Jim blackberry that I received from Bonita Creek Nursery this weekend, since I haven't grown blackberries here in S. California, and Dave at Bonita Creek is having me try them up here in Vista. So, going to pop that in the middle pot, and I thought it would be nice to plant two blueberry plants on either side. I have a metal fence behind the 3 pots, so I'm going to try to train the blackberry canes along the fence. So, looking for nice blueberries to plant on either side. So far in doing a little research, it looks like my best choices are Sunshine and Misty. I live my blueberries sweet. So, not sure if I should get two varieties, or stick to one variety. Any opinions on blueberry varieties for my N. San Diego location about 6-7 miles inland from the ocean?
