You could actually substitute any of those beans for the black, with making something like soup u can really interchange things to whatever you might have on hand

No. Pintos are much better substitute. Texture of kidney would be to different.

Just based on size I would go with the pinto beans or the canellinis. The flavor shouldn't be affected too much. Maybe the texture a bit.

I'd use the pinto, personally.

Pinto is closer to black (I think), but fava is much healthier (ref: Dr. Oz).
