Of all the squash I've grown I've never considered Delicata to be a long storage type squash. So would eat it first.

And I never considered acorn squash to be a long storage squash either.

Butternuts and buttercups and hubbards and many others would keep for me for many months.

When I was growing up on the farm we'd harvest the squash in the fall in the field and put them in big piles then Dad would throw these heavy comforter type tarps over them, then they were transferred to the greenhouses for curing in the sun, then sold, but of course we kept lots of squash for home use as well.
