Straight Eight's went bitter for me too, dropped them long ago. Also a a few of the long Asian and Armenian varieties did not like the dry heat, and I'm done growing those too.
AS for an OP I went to Marketmore's several years ago, still water the same way and they've not been bitter. And Diva's are a good one too, I've got them on a fence line and it's been 105F for a month, still sweet and crisp, and they self-pollinate.
