No matter which variety you plant, it takes 8-10 years for a quince to
reliably
produce a marketable quantity of fruit, so (unless Ms Malone planted them some
years ago) you are going to have a long wait and pricing now will not be very
useful.  The Japanese shrub also will not produce fruit for many years and
then
very unreliably.  Unless you want a lot of decorative hedging, don't bother
planting
them for fruit.
