Which strain to grow

[buck]

Hello,
I have a different variety of seeds that I never grow before, they are old seeds circa 2013 , hope they are viable but anyhow I want to grow some plants for seed.
I have limited space (6 plants) and I would like at least 2 of the same so 3 different strains. Which grows well in my part of the world and provides good yield ?
Which would you grow?

Big Leaf Burley
Gold Seal
YTB
Smoking Virginia
Burley N126
GL939 Virginia

Skychaser is located below you in Washington. You should be able to grow any variety he can successfully grow. His favorite Virginia is GL939.

You should be able to grow any variety

I agree.

Also, which one is better for just air curing with less hassle to get a smokeable product ? That'll limit what I'll grow.
Or does all of it have top be flue cured which is fine I have a kiln.

Flue-curing is a whole lot less work than air-curing. From green, ripe leaf to smokable tobacco (for pipe and cigarettes) in 5 to 7 days. So long as your chamber can slowly ramp up to ~165°F. For that, grow a flue-cure variety.

Oh I thought it was more work, sure I'll give that a go.

For air curing Yellow Twist bud is the easiest. It's a good growing mild burley.

just seeded, Big Leaf, Gold Seal, Gl393 and YTB both flue and air cured .. I'll see how that all turns out.

Best of luck. The Gold Seal is from that guy in Summerland, by chance?

Someone on this forum sent me seeds when I first started, still much appreciated.
