pollination constant vs. pv distinction?

I just saw in one of Lee Reich's books that Smith's Best (Giboshi) is supposed to be a PVA variety, but Edible Landscaping and Just Fruits and Exotics seem to recommend it apart from pollination. Is the line between PC's and PV's a little fuzzy? I'm inclined to think that seedlessness is much preferable to whatever flavors the PV's may offer. I've really liked all the kakis I've tasted, and I don't think any of the ones I've tried have been pollinated. I recently planted an Izu, Hana Fuyu, Saijo, and Sheng, and I have a Wase Fuyu in a pot yet. I'm also interested in 20th century, Kyungsun ban si (sp?), Giombo, and maybe TamKam. What can any of you tell me about the pollination needs of any of these varieties?
