Recommend a cherry?

I'm in western NC near Boone. I need something that blooms late because we're subject to late freezes. (have one due tonight, ugh.) I think cherries do well here. We have a lot of wild cherries and a black cherry, according to our extension agent. (It looks about 50' high, I dunno if it has cherries or the birds get them all.)

I just planted a Black Gold and I'd like to have one more. I want something for fresh eating primarily. I want something that is tough, dependable, TASTY, and doesn't require a lot of coddling/spraying.

Should I go with a Black or White Gold or one of the new Cornell varieties? Or is there something better out there? What would you suggest?
