I have started Summer Dance (F1) cucumbers. I grew them last year and they did great for me, had plenty to give away.
I am giving up on the Diva cucumbers, I really like them, but they just don't bear fruit for me.
I will start bush champion later in the season for fall cucumbers - although last year they didn't grow, I didn't need them because the Summer Dance kept bearing.
And what you are calling 'cucumber salad', my family called 'slicers'. Either in just a vinegar marinade (with a little sugar), or with vinegar and sour cream (or cream, or the dreaded mayo).
