Of the one's I've tried, Ecuadors were my favorite. I also like Cambodian. Both gave me lots of nice-looking fruits.

I just noticed my Golden Teachers are extremely prone to bruising. The bruises are dark... ink blue. Is this common to all golden teachers?

From pictures I've seen, Malabar looks like a strain that produces a high number of shrooms packed very close together.
The pictures on vendor sites are all pictures of ideal flushes in ideal conditions. The strain does not determine how bountiful your flush is.
>Basically, the criteria I am looking for in a strain are: >a)dense growth
This is a function of the substrate you use and how you prepare your casing layer. Search for "hyphae's pinning strategy."
>b)potentcy
The consensus is that potency does not vary much between strains.
>c)colonize/grow well in lower temps.
You'll hear all kinds of different opinions about which strain colonizes better, but I believe other variables (type of spawn/substrate, etc) have much more of an effect. All strains will do fine fruiting and colonizing at room temperatures (70s F).
>d)ability to grow in small spaces.
Again, nothing to do with strain. Just depends on the size of your fruiting chamber, really.
>e)easy caretaking and heartiness
All cubensis strains are pretty easy.
Have fun!

Why are PE and albino strain so drastically different, when all of the other dozens of strains are not? And why aren't there more oddball strains of p. cubensis?

Ecuador because I liked it. 
Not Puerto Rico because I couldn't get them to fruit, and I know I'm not the only one.
