Pasandra F1 and cool breeze are two I have grown. Pasandra about 8" slim and sweet, grew until October for me in my small greenhouse. For pickles and also a nice small productive salad cuke, Cool Breeze is another all female flowered cuke that will do well for you as it does for me here in my Alberta greenhouse.
Go with a F1 Hybrid all female. The seeds are ridiculously expensive but worth it. Fothergill's sells the Pasandra and the Cool breeze is fairly common, should be able to find it in a store. Mckenzies (Canada) sells it.

Pasandra is the one that has outlasted everything else in my GH. Has some fairly good resistance to powdery mildew which is what will usually cause the most disease issues in GH cukes due to humidity.
