Not tried it, but this is supposed to be club root resistant:

As for the other qualities - let us know then you've tried them!

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I have grown Crispus and Cornus brussels for two years now and they are what they say clubroot free .I have not seen any clubroot at all .I have given them to friends who say they taste very nice ,Picked the last ones a fortnight ago .Most plotters near me grow them now and  are happy with them.

If your ground carries clubroot, you can minimise the effect by potting on your seedlings into larger than normal pots so the roots are well established and are more rubust to resist this disease.    You can also dig a hole and fill with 'clean' compost prior to planting.       8)   Cheers,    Tony.
