I'll be growing dwarf french 2 varieties. Don't know the name but 1 for eating pods and the other, from a french supermarket several years ago, for drying.
Climbing I've only grown one to dry in the past, Soissons, but they are a long time ripening and difficult to cover with a fleece if an early autumn frost threatens. I would highly recommend Selma Zebra which I got in a random mix from T&M a couple of years ago. I'll be growing again this year as it is quite prolific and fast to grow and produces dried seeds quite early in the year. It isn't quite so easy to shell as soissons though. It cooks quicker than a lot of dried beans also. It doesn't seem to be on sale anywhere now so if anyone wants to try it I could send a few seeds. Veggie might have some as well as she got a random mix same time I did,
