My experience with large radish varieties is that they all taste generally the same, some might be more spicy then others but the difference is small.

Our asian supermarket stocks a variety of radishes; korean radish (moo), japanese daikon, chinese green radish, and chinese white radish (lor pak).

I’ve cooked with them and pickled them, and they all generally give the same end-result.

White radish is called củ cải trắng in vietnamese, and reading this article on asian radishes will clear some doubts away http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daikon

good luck!
