Default Suggestions for melons and squash

Last year I grew Hale's Best Muskmelon and it was a very good cropper for my area. It tasted and looked great, but was about the same thing I could buy at the supermarket. I am looking for something sweet and a little less common than Hale's.
As for watermelon, I grew Crimson Sweet several years and last year grew Baby Doll Hybrid. The Crimson sweet was good and productive, but not the greatest tasting. The Baby Doll all, and I mean all split right down the middle before ever getting ripe. My 5 yr. old grew them because he loves watermelon and yellow. So I am looking for melon suggestions.

And lastly, I have always grown Buttercup squash. I don't know if I could ever find anything better, but I am open to suggestions.
