Default Hop variety matter for Sweet Stout??

I'm making a chocolate/mint Sweet Stout. Since it's only a 60 minute addition and I'm not looking for any hop aroma, can I get away with using a high alpha acid hop like Chinook for this?

Yes, a high-aa hop is a good choice because you'll have very little flavor or aroma from the small quantity required for bittering.
