Kogiku was great. My kids think they are little pumpkins and play with them. It produced well even though I basically abandoned it this summer. It stores really well, too, and the flavor's decent for it being so tiny/early. (I just looked it up, and the days to maturity are 65! Huh.)

Pastila shampan is SO sweet and SO good. Its meat is light and compared to a grocery store butternut it is sweet, sweet, sweet. Also, it might be longer to maturity - I'm not sure of the days to maturity - BUT... its foliage is gorgeous. I wish I had a picture: every picture online is about the fruit, not the leaves. It's not like the usual, crimped/ruffled foliage of most squash and zucchini, but the leaves are heart shaped and huge and the plant sprawl. It was definitely a winner in my book this year, though I'd recommend trellising it.
