Disease resistant mango

I have read all the threads on mangoes and thought I knew what variety to buy. Then came the rains and I have noticed (not surprisingly) that disease and fungus has raised it ugly head. So, now that we are experiencing a more 'common' rainy summer what variety of mango would you recommend that has a high disease/fungus resistance and reliable production. I also like sweet juicy fruit.

I looked at Carrie as PIN said it was very disease resistant but it was the tree with the most awful looking leaves and leaf tips. Also, noted some posters were not happy with this varietiy. Ice Cream looked good but PIN said it had low disease resistance and rated it low in flavor. Is it true that no matter what variety I will have to spray with copper? (So plant away from bromeliads so I don't overspray them).

Thanks from a confused wannabe mango grower.
