This link will give you an idea of the different varieties:

Depending on the specie, and the weather during the growing season, some fruit is hotter than others.

It's a staple at my house, we probably buy two or three 30 lb sacks a year. I was paying ~$30 per sack roasted last year, we'll see what prices are here soon. Last year I bought chile grown in Lemitar, NM from the stand down the street. It was a little too hot for my wife...
Thanks FrkYrPrk, ill check that link.
