Are you looking for them to cook the leaves? If so it may help to know that all pumpkin and squash leaves are edible and suitable for cooking.
Some information here

I think the normal trailing types will produce more shoots and leaves than the smaller 'bush' types.

They are tasty. I just use whichever variety I'm growing in my garden. As we have a short growing season in the UK I only allow each plant to produce a few squashes or pumpkins. I remove the additional side shoots and cook them.
I hope that's helpful
