Hello. I have a village full of villagers with almost every max level enchanted book. But trading pumpkins and melons for emeralds takes a lot of time farming. Which is the best trader to zombify and cure in order to get the best trades for easy emeralds? Thank you!
A cured farmer exchanges 1 pumpkin or melon per emerald which is darn good. Thats 24 emeralds per refresh. And as you alternate them, they will not hike the price of either. With a silk touch axe and a melon/pumpkin farm about 20 each, you'll be harvesting them faster than you can sell.
Other option, if you got iron farm, cure a few tool- and weaponsmiths.

That is a good deal 24 emeralds per refresh, I may need to take advantage of this sometime on my worlds, been a while since I cured a Zombie villager, me and friends just capture existing one's from Villages now because this method is usually easier.
this would mean trading with farmers on the 1st day and after each of the 2 refreshes, you already have a stack of emeralds which means spares for trading with Wandering Traders becomes more accessible.
To OP I would suggest curing more than 1 Zombie Villager for this,
reason being is because you need emeralds for a lot more than just Wandering Trader loot and a few bits of lapis off Clerics,
and some of the trades can get quite expensive if you unlock Master Level Trades off Armorers, Librarians or Tool Smiths.

Fletchers to trade 32 sticks for 1 emerald is one I've used quite a bit. Sounds like a lot of sticks, but it's easy to get an inventory's worth with a bamboo farm. Better if you have multiple fletchers with the same trade.
Fletchers make little sense as curing a fletcher only drops their stick trade from 32 to around 24. You need to zombify/cure a fletcher like 3 times to get them to be as good as once-cured farmer, and even then it is only 12 emeralds per refresh. Plus if you only sell them sticks (first tier trade) fletcher will increase the price.
A cured farmer IMHO is best, considering also you can buy golden carrots quite cheap.
One fine option is a librarian plus a bunch of cured cartographers. 12 emeralds gets you 48 glass which converts to 128 glass panes which you sell to cartographers at a mega profit and hefty XP.

Good point, I was told about Fletchers trade deals by a friend the other night and although I had them set up I never really considered Bamboo as a potential use for them until now. That does make them efficient. I normally use Farmers and Librarians to get emeralds.
I would also suggest Jungle trees mainly because of their enormous wood count per 2x2 wide tree, getting a stack and change of logs,
and with 1 stack of logs you can make 8 stacks of sticks
2 x 64 planks = 4 stacks of sticks
4 x 64 planks = 8 stacks of sticks
You also get stacks from decaying or broken leaves every so often which is a bonus.
Theoretically it should only take 3 maximum sized jungle trees to fill up an inventory of sticks,

you have 27 slots plus the hotbar.
