Good Cider Yeasts? (self.homebrewing)

I've been brewing mostly ciders and cysers with 10 packets of cote de blanc I bought last year with wonderful results (in my opinion). I just used the last one on an apple-honey-habenero concoction. Anyone have a good recommendation for yeasts that bring out fruity flavors?

Last time I tried to use different kinds of yeasts that I can get from local wine making shop.

Now I mostly use some strain for aromatic wines. These in my opinion gives most the fruity flavors. Also the strain for fruit wines had good flavor.

Wine strains like to ferment cider dry, if you want sweeter cider ALE strains are better.
