Except for the squash, I'd usually eat all of these (even the peas) fresh and in salads. I cannot imagine wanting to go near a frozen carrot. To each their own.
I think for the most part, the frozen stuff is good-to-excellent for cooking, and some is not so good for fresh (berries and some other fruits an exception).
I also probably would not want a frozen carrot in a salad, but cooking with them should be fine. We use lots of fresh red peppers, but DW buys frozen for casseroles and such. Frozen corn is very good as a side dish, but doesn't compare with fresh on-the-cob.
