They are all good but different. Enough different that you want all three.

Kishu is not juicy but that makes them easy to eat. They are small and easy to eat as they aren't juicy until you get them in your mouth and bite on them. Most people that taste mine say they are the best citrus they have ever tasted. Kids just go nuts over them. Early season. It will take 20 years before the tree is big enough to have enough Mini Kishus. You are not going to juice a Kishu but taking a half dozen to work with you each day is a great plan.

Tango is a seedless variation on W. Murcott and a very typical Mandarin. They are what most people think of as a typical Tangerine. Juicy, mid sized and mid season.

Gold Nugget are late season and hold on the tree a long time. Taste great but look a bit funny in the rough textured bumpy type.

The only choice is one of each plus maybe a second Kishu.

And to make things more complicated, the most juicy mandarin/mandarin hybrid is Page. But, for sure, I would have all 4, for 4 different reasons. And I do :-) Page for juicing, the other 3 for eating and extending my harvest times. And I also wouldn't miss having a clementine (Clemnules/Algerian Clementine) either, because it is one of the best of the early mandarins.
