+1 for the Costata Romanescu and Cocozelle - they are the best of the really large zucchini, being both very firm and very sweet tasting never bitter for us. You'll get a big crop from those. There are many meals in one CR.

I'm a kousa fan, if you can get it, try Magda F1. Still looking for an OP to rival the taste. The squash are not large and best harvested before they do get large, but they are very tasty whether cooked or raw. "Nutty" yes.

I did also quite like Bianca de Trieste, which is a vining type and can be trellised as well. Much smaller than the others and a bit prone to rots on the blossom end that spoil the taste, at least when growing on the ground here in my climate. We don't always have the kind of summer that squash like.
