I think you might like Early Wonder in your conditions. I've grown it here for several years now and it has decent flavor and productivity. Rare to have such good flavor for an early.

I'd also get a second bucket and go with Sungold. Although it can grow somewhat gangly (meaning all over the place!) you can keep it trimmed and it will definitely produce like gangbusters.

I would nix Golden Nugget Yellow (no flavor and no productivity for me), Yellow Pear (very bland every single year I've grown it), and although Oregon Spring is parthenocarpic and early I was never impressed with it.

I'd really encourage you to try New Big Dwarf one day, too. Very "well mannered" in its growth habit, produces very nice/large slicers, and due to its wonderful amount of foliage really comes on strong with flavor. I'll send seeds to you if you have time to start some still.
