I am not sure which are better for eating, the broad breasted bronze grows to be a large bird 12lbs upwards, I always am of the opinion that if you rear them free range and look after their dietary needs properly then you can add to the taste of the bird which will be a lot better than shop bought ones. It is personal preference I suppose. Sorry can't be of much help in which bird would be the best to eat, I know that mine will be a bronze turkey this year.
