I think that some variants of the Ancho/poblanos might work for you.
Check out the catalog from Tomato Growers Supply Co. -- they have
peppers too.

There are also Anaheims, which are similar to Anchos in heat. Burpee has
a 'hardly-hot' jalapeno variety called False Alarm. Burpee and Parks
both have Salsa Delight, which they say are mild.

I bought "Senorita" peppers from Parks this year, they are sold as "jalapeno
flavor without all the heat"

New Mexico or Anahiem chiles (different names for virtually the same
plant) can be quite mild. Of course, hotness varies with climate
conditions, soil, and heaven-know-what. These are the types that are
in the little cans of "diced chile peppers, mild" in the grocery
store.
