Buy for what purpose ?
You can buy any kind of garlic to cook with.
But if you want yo plant/grow it, probably it is not the right time. Garlic is usually planted in the fall. You can spring plant it too but it will not bulb well. Now, you can use it green as you would use green onions.

You've asked this question before and it has been answered. See the link below. As I said in your other post, all garlic grows well here (I'm about 20 miles SW of Detroit). It's just a matter of your personal taste preferences and whether you like them hot and garlic-y or if you like them more mild.

i'm in a similar zone to you and i planted my garlic on the 15th of october. it has really taken off now (we have had a warm spring):

but the time for choosing your variety is in the fall. perhaps you could find some later in the summer at a farmers market and then save the largest cloves of ta type you like.
