Hello Ian,
We have Invicta gooseberry which has been good on the non-mildew. It's true they tend to be susceptible otherwise. What about Victoria rhubarb?
There's a lot of detail in your question, or five! Have you tried using the site search facility (custom search) and having a good browse at what other gardeners have found successful varieties?
