I usually use red beans for this dish, but I've also used kidney beans and black beans. I think any kind of bean will do.
The recipe is pretty spicy as is, but the sweetness of the sweet potato sets off ths spiciness of the bean mixture. However, you can leave off the cayenne and lower the amount of chili powder to make it less spicy.
Sometimes the beans get really dry so you may want to add a bit of water to them while you're heating them on the stove.
