Cream of Saskatchewan, hands down (me biased?...nay), Petite Sweet and Petite Yellow are nice and can do well in oversized barrels. Am trying Blacktail Mt and Orangeglo this year along with Early Moonbeam, Kapuler's dehybridized version of Yellow Doll.

Sakata's Sweet does well in containers--good production of smaller melons; Charentais made me a melon convert; Noir des Carmes and Petit Gris de Rennes can do well in more marginal conditions (no artifical irrigation in my case). Trying Oka and Montreal Market this year so thoughts and preferences are likely to change. :>)
