For the heat, any hot to medium red will do for me.  But I base the liquid 
on a red sauce I make from dried mild reds like California or some of the 
New Mex variants.  You can have a lot of rich pepper flavor without a lot of 
heat - the beauty of heat being that you can always add it to your own 
serving.

Try adding some smoked hab for the heat; the smokiness plugs into the rest 
of the flavors in the chile, and the sweet frutiness is much less 
noticeable.  Chipotle works well, too.
