IMHO anything will work in a french press so long as it's ground right and brewed for the right amount of time. If you get the process right, you can vary the dose/steep time to get your preferred coffee tasting great, or try out different coffee types.
There's a guide to technique here, which you might want to read: http://coffeegeek.com/guides/presspot
As with all coffee, the grind is key. Bombcup posted some interesting stuff a few pages back about varying the grind and steep time for several different coffees.
