If you got a couple of New Zealand Red does and a Harlequin Buck youd have fast growing meaty babies with harliquinized coats (the harlequin gene is dominant to the red gene)
or those same NZ red does with a nice Tri-colored Rex Buck (keep a couple does from that back and breed back to daddy and...
honestly rabbit meat is rabbit meat no matter what the breed.

I have 3 cal x nz mixes in my rabbitry...
