Default Indoor chillies?

Does anyone know what varieties of chillies are best suited for growing

Tabascos work pretty well. Whatever you grow, you will have to
pollinate them by hand if you want any fruit. It's easy to do with your
fingertip or a Q-tip or a small soft brush.

But I have usually trouble with bringing pepper plants indoors -- They
get attacked by aphids, white flies, and/or red spider mites, and these
kill the plants before I can get them under control. I had Rocoto
peppers growing in pots on the patio last year, and when I brought them
indoors the insects quickly killed them even tho' I sprayed. Maybe it's
a humidity thing.
