Luis,
It is hard to say because location and climate affect quality of fruit. That said, in my experience, Korean Giant (aka Olympic), Shinseki and Hosui taste better and sweeter than nijisseiki (aka 20th Cenury pear.)

Iāve Korean Giant and Nijisseiki for almost 10 years, Hosui at least 5 years and Shinseilki for 2.
You need to thin pears out a lot when they are very young. Take out 70-80% of the fruit will give you good quality pears both in taste and size.

Of all the pics you showed, I donāt have Chojuro or Early Shu. I have the rest.
I donāt think the pic of Hosui is correct. Hosui has russet skin (brown skin). The Hosui pear in the pic you posted does not look like Hosui at all.
To me, Hosui and Kosui are similar but I prefer Hosui.
I donāt know your climate. You may want to find out if fire blight is an issue in your area.

I would not want 2 nijisseiki. The fruit is small, smaller than Shinseiki and it is not as sweet as Shinseiki. If you want two, you may want 2 Shinseiki or 2 Conjuro.
If were I, I would pick one each of Conjuro, Hosui, Shinseiki and Nijisseiki. Hosui tastes similar to Korean Giant but your donāt have KG for a chioce there.

Thank you for your reply and advices! I already have the two nijiseiki and bought the chojuro todayā¦ but if you think hosui is a must to have i can try to get oneā¦
I have not tried Conjuro so I canāt comment on it. I have heard good thing about it. I have Hosui. I like mine. I donāt think you can go wrong with either Hosui or Conjuro. Later on you can graft other varieties on your trees.

Hi! I just found one nursery in Europe that sells the Olympic (Korean Giant) variety. So do you think i should get it too? Iām very exited! 
KG grows very well and produces excellen Asian pear for me. Like I said, I donāt know your climate. However, KG is my number #1 Asian pear in my yard.
KG and Hosui are quite similar (to me). If you have to pick, Iād pick Conjuro and KG and skip Hosui.
