Well I took a bite out of each type when I went picking to make sure they tasted ok
So I'm not overly concerned about putting them all in together, but if you are worried make several little batches and blend the nice ones and chuck the shit ones. Its pretty much free as you don't need yeast or sugar. Just let the juice do its natural thing.

I don't think cider apples are usually suitable for eating.
I'm not sure if it works the other way around though.

If you can't find proper cider apples a mix of cookers and eaters will be fine

I was thinking of doing small batches - maybe a demijohn each - and seeing if I could blend it to taste.
I quite like a cider, as long as I can see through it and it doesn't taste like either :-
a) something made in the chemicals factory in Runcorn or
b) Something's died in it.
Can't stand the 'real ale' types who won't drink it unless it looks like the water drained from an old cast-iron radiator and has been strained through the gusset of a traditional cordwangler's apprentices' skroving smock.

Trouble with home made cider is the juice browns much like an apple does so its often cloudy
but depend on the apples
