I'd suggest the:

Beachy Cross 2006 #4....1230 Delatas X 603 Muller(could produce very nice looking pumpkins)

If you'd be willing to look at the 2003 Beachy seeds, he has a 846 Calai X 801.5 Stelts cross, and a sibbling cross of the 801.5 Stelts.

Thats a very good question perhaps I should denote the orange ones somehow on the order form. I think there are many choices for very orange and round. if you expand the thinking some, a lot more than just a few could do that. I think the best bets for the traits you have listed would be the following. I dont even know where to begin recommending. Lots of choices.
Hope this helps

#20 should be okay as well.

I think the #30 stands out the most for orange.
I'm still looking into some of the crosses. A lot to look at but the winter is long. Bumper crop Tom. Nice job !

OOps. I meant # 41 (783 x 1233). #30 looks good too though.
