There is a bean for everyone.  You just have to find it.  You have to like the flavor and the consistency.  I love kidney beans.  When I make a bean dish, the majority of the beans are kidney beans.  However, I will not even eat kidney beans out of a can.  Beans that come out of cans are waterlogged and bloated.  I use dry beans only. You can add lentils, split beans, and other grains to bean dishes to make them flavorful and more nutritious.  I also like to add vegetables, both fresh and dehydrated.
