Just remember you will be fighting an uphill battle. Cultivating anything not native to the climate is a struggle in the desert.
I would say go for an equatorial variety but they don't flower well at higher latitudes and they also like higher humidity.
I live in a high desert climate (pot mecca Pueblo County Colorado) and there is a LOT of weed cultivated outdoors but most of it goes to get extracted for edibles and whatnot, it's not high quality twig but it makes oil.

I grew a strain called Shiva ,indica landrace from the India / Pakistan border. Pretty dry climate there. It had adapted by growing at a crawl during veg but exploding during flower, I assume thats when the rains came. I think that regardless of indica or sativa it's region that would be most important when selecting a landrace strain that is adapted for hot / dry climate. I believe that 90% of the strains bred for indoor growing will struggle in harsh outdoor environments. A plant that has been subjected to many generations of natural selection in a hot and dry climate would be the way to go.
