How long do various squash keep?

Hercules, CA

For comparison sake how long do the various types of squash keep?
Also I would like to grow some that will last a long time.

Augusta, GA(Zone 8a)

longest, Hubbards, Butternut, Shortest, Acorn The others are in between. Most of the hard rind types are decent keepers.

Hornick, IA(Zone 4b)

Farmerdill is right on.
I have one butternut left from last fall. It looks just the same as the day I picked it. and it is still solid. I would have eaten it sooner, but we also a good crop of sweet potatoes, and pumpkins.
One of the sweet potatoes weighed 6 an 1/2 lb. I shared with several of the elderly in town. They sure were happy whenever I showed up with more.
