I grew the Boldogi red spice peppers this year. They are indeed used to
make paprika, and what flavorful peppers they are! They are not
overwhelmingly hot, though. I think I got the seeds from Reimer's.

I don't know a darn thing about any of the other seeds you mentioned.

And then Beth in Texas chimed in about some other Hungarian varieties,
including:

I think I grew those too, from some seeds given to me by a Hungarian
gentleman who is a member of my community garden. They're very
thick-walled, juicy peppers, shaped like tomatoes, with more than a touch
of heat, but not enough to disqualify them from being part of a salad eaten
by most "normal" people. They're absolutely delicious.
