Variety	Best for
Slicing (American Slicer)	All-purpose salads and snacking: dark-green waxed skin (usually peeled), watery flesh; the cheap supermarket default.
English (Hothouse)	Salads and sandwiches: long, seedless, thin-skinned; no peeling needed and the mildest flavour.
Persian / Lebanese	Snacking and salads: small, crisp, seedless; eat skin and all.
Kirby (Pickling)	Pickles and quick brines: short and bumpy, firm flesh that stays crunchy in vinegar.
Armenian (Yard-long)	Salads and tzatziki: long and ribbed, technically a melon; thin skin, mild and crisp.

Which should I pick?
