Fave Winter Squash?Melons?

I'm going through a winter squash obsession (my new favorite food) and I'd
like to know what are people's absolute favorites.  I am looking for the
absolute sweetest winter squash varieties.

My current fave is Kabacha, popular in the Korean markets here in Los
Angeles, so I am trying it from saved seeds and it seems to be doing well.  

Has anyone tried "Tahitian" as seen in Seeds of Change?  If so, would you
*highly* recommend it or not?  

What about "Ambercup Hybrid" from T&M?  The catalog says it resembles
Kabacha.  What are the differences?

Pinetree says "Honey Delight"  is "one of the best" of the "Japanese type."
 Anyone know more about this?

I have *lots* of Kabacha seed that I'd like to trade for other exceptional
varieties, especially the three mentioned above.  Anyone have a couple of
seeds they can spare?  I am growing Kabacha vertically and already have an
almost-mature fruit on the vine. 

I am overwhelmed by the choice of melons there are in the catalogs -- the
descriptions make them all sound equally superior -- and would like to know
some exceptional unusual types to grow (although I'll need another year to
have saved melon seed to offer in trade.)  What super varieties should I
investigate from what catalogs?  I have a long growing season.
