I'd go for EKG (if you can get some) that is very much the authentic flavour. NZ Styrian isn't bad as a 30min addition either... EKG is great at the end IMO - but I dont make a hell of a lot of ESB...

Yup, I have to agree, If you want to authentic to style, use Kent goldings.

just found out my LHBS is out of EKG. They have got challenger. so i might use taht for flavor and one of either styrian or nz godings as flameout and dry hop. thoughts?

maybe too late, but challenger makes a nice beer. more bitter than EKG used in lots of famous UK beers. I'm not sure about the motueka/EKG mix. EKG might completely disappear in all that bitterness. Depending upon how much you use of course.
