Peanuts and tepary beans?

Thinking about growing peanuts and tepary beans next summer. Wondering if either are worth it in limited amount of space? I understand both do well in my hot climate. I've usually stuck with pole beans due to lited area but would really like to try peanuts and teparies should do very well in one of my less improved areas. However, I have no idea what yield will be and don't know if either will be worth the space.
I could also grow pole cowpeas or yardlongs on a trellis, perhaps with heat tolerant squash or melons underneath, instead.
The area that I would put the teparies is flood irrigated every two weeks during hot months, which I understand is how teparies are usually grown.
