Presuming you also mean "non-green", I'd say "Aji Serranito".  But most
list members would probably go with habanero.  Habanero happens to be way
way low on my list, but then I'd probably put Scotch Bonnet at 2nd place
and Fatali in 3rd place on the non-red chile preference list, and after all
both these two have very similar taste/aroma to habanero, and that same
nice pungency (or more!), so you could argue I'm not too far out of sync
with the majority.
