I've tried quite a few varieties of muskmelon here the last few years and had mixed results for various reasons, including some disappointments with some of the highly touted varieties noted above. The one variety that was exceptionally good in both flavor and productivity for me was Green Machine, a variety bred by Merlyn Niedens, I think. Of course my growing conditions here are slightly different than yours...
As for watermelon, I always have disease problems and get little if any useful production, so I've given up with them. Someday I'd like to taste a Moon and Stars, but I'll never be able to grow them, so for now it's just a dream...
