Where I live, we can get good mangoes, so they may win. But a good watermelon is my favorite fruit, and the occasional perfectly ripe apricot or peach I have tasted were both better than mango, they are just never ripe in the shops here, picked too early I think so they go straight from underripe and hard as rocks to mealy and unpleasant.
Yes a good honeydew melon earns its name! If you can smell them in the store they are usually good. Same with cantaloupe. If you can’t smell it don’t buy it.

You can’t beat a good watermelon, but 75% of the watermelons I’ve had weren’t a good one, so they can be a bit of a gamble.
Same with honeydew. Once you have a perfect one, 90% are so disappointing. But that perfect one… Oh my!
