Bluegill!
I prefer the firmer and tastier flesh of BG. Crappie is good, but like LMB, the flesh is too soft and flaky, and the flavor is a bit weaker.
My wife and I used to fish nearly every day (after work!) and I got real adept at filleting BG. 4 strokes per side with a sharp knife yielded a nice fillet. Seasoned and breaded just right, there's no better tasting fish IMO.
I think RES are excellent too!
Note to heronblu: I call white perch "crappie" on this forum just for uniformity. In real life, I call them "white perch" and sac-a-lait. I'm building my pond in a community called "Patasa", in honor of the white perch.
