I conducted a simple test. I cut up Nectarines, Pears, strawberries, then whole blueberries, cherries and black berries. I filled several small mason jars with each type of fruit. I then topped each jar with 120p sugar based (neutral) shine. I let them soak for 3 weeks. I then tasted each batch. Here is my opinions:
#1. Cherries, very smooth, doesn't have the bite of the liquor anymore
#2. Strawberries, tasty, smooth, still a bit of a bite
#3 (tie) Blueberries and Blackberries, full flavor, still a bite
#5 Nectarines, flavorful, lots of bite
#6. Pears, Not as good as I hoped, lots of bite. I may have used the wrong pears. I think they were Bartlet, definitely too soft. A harder cooking style might be better.
I HIGHLY recommend the cherries and strawberries. (I'm not even a real cherry fan, but this stuff is like smooth schnapps.
