Great collection poinget! You may want to try Brentwood Bay Nurseries near Butchart Gardens which has a large collection of unusual Fuchsia. I don't know what your third one is but love the reddish tints on the leaves which accent the blooms. I've got a small Hawkshead which is just starting to bloom and have read many good things about this cultivar.

I planted a nice 1 gallon F. Chang http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/175982/ and it has been blooming regularly since planting.
Right next to it is a F. 'Maxima' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/184972/ and I know where it got it's name. The blooms are huge.
I found this really good deal on 1 gallon 3+' Fuchsia pillars for $16 so bought this nice F. 'Papoose' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/114997/ which is supposed to be quite hardy.
