Can y'all recommend any particular varieties that have great resistance to powdery mildew and fusirium wilt?

I grew an Op PM resistant squash 2 or 3 years ago called Romulus from Territorial. It did resist PM but I didn't save seeds b/c it looked funny early on and then grew very healthy after. I would try that one again if I wanted to order from Territorial ever again.

I have grown Seminole Pumpkin for several years, and it is very resistant to mildews and whatever else has killed several other varieties I have grown. I have also gotten as many as 5 squash on one vine, and they store for over 2 years (I did this once, just to see how long they would keep!). Great flavor, as well, and not grainy, like some are. I am always trying new moschata squash, as SVB is a problem here, so this is all I can grow. I have also grown some Asian wax melons (another sort of winter squash, that SVB does not attack), that have been resistant to all diseases, but only the large ones (20lb)- when I tried some smaller varieties (5-7 lbs), figuring this was better for one person, they all succumbed to mildew.

Thanks littleminnie and pepperhead212, This Seminole Pumpkin sounds great, and now I am wondering if it can be grown successfully in a raised bed?
