Zucchini for me - although I'm not a huge fan of any member of the cucurbitae family. They've all got a taste (including the melons) that is overpoweringly strong to me that I just really can't stand. I think it's a genetic thing, like how some people detect a strong taste of soap in cilantro and other people don't.

Although, I guess it doesn't really matter if I taste good to myself or not, so maybe it doesn't matter?

I love the flavor of cucumbers, but for overall versatility, I'd have to be a zucchini. Sauteed, roasted, baked into bread, zucchini just has more body and is actually filling.

A cucumber, so I can fulfill my life-long aspiration to perform the perfect Pickle Rick cosplay.

I love some pickles so, I'd be a cucumber any day. Not to say you can't pickle zucchini, but the cuke is a classic for a reason. I think it's the seeds that really make it different in a good way for me. I may be weird, but I like slimy cucumber seeds. It's a texture thing that I enjoy.

Cucumber because I love cucumbers and zucchini doesn't bring me that much joy

Zucchini for sure. There's something special about a zucchini relish on summer foods that cucumber doesn't have, or maybe loses in its ubiquity. Also zucchini bread for the other thirty fruits because you've shredded it and frozen it for year round use.
