2013 Summer Lettuce Showdown

In my search to up the number of lettuce varieties I can grow in the heat of summer, I trialed 8 this year.
Bibb
Black Seeded Simpson
Green Star
Kagraner Sommer
Nevada Lettuce
Red Sails
Slobolt
Super Jericho Romaine
Only my standard bibb bolted - the rest were chosen based on their heat tolerance. The standouts for me were Green Star, Nevada and Kagraner Sommer, but I was impressed by the rest.
Anyone have a suggestion for next summers bolt resistant trials? I'm in Santa Barbara, CA so its a little easier for me than some.
