So far, I'm considering blueberries, raspberries, black berries, and maybe cherries. I know that the cherries will lend a sour effect to the beer. Anyone have other suggestions?

I made a raspberry wheat last spring which is one of those that isn't my favorite, but pretty much everybody liked - especially those who aren't big bear drinkers.

That being said, why stop at one? Maybe make a Very Berry Wheat? Or you could pick up a few one gallon jugs and do a little of each for sampling

I've tried raspberries, black berries, and peaches. The black berry was the only one that I would ever think to repeat but my wife, sister, and mom thought the peach was pretty good. It was very peachy, tasted like peach pie or something - kind of overwhelming to my tastes. You might give the peaches a try though, if you're only making a gallon of each fruit its probably not that risky.

I considered peaches, but I was concerned about just what you stated... I want some nice fruit notes, however I don't want an overwhelming slap to your face...

So far I'm going to do:
Raspberry
Blackberry
Cherry
Cherry/Pomegranate (girlfriends request)
Blueberry

Most people don't realize the most popular fruit in the world(that also works well in beer) is mango. Mango wheat is wonderful

Strawberry!

Recipes 

I have read that strawberry is a VERY difficult flavor to impart in a beer without using a fruit flavored extract. The delicate flavor of the strawberries doesn't seem to come through easily in a beer. If someone could give advice, I'd definitely try it out...
