the mixolydian will work over any 7th chord of the same name. try it out, it could be another good thing to have in your bag of tricks.
natural minor is spelled 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, b6, b7. it can also be called the aeolian mode.
melodic minor is essentially a major scale with a flat third. it gives you that m/maj7 chord sound which is quite mysterious.
in classical theory, the melodic minor is only played ascending. descending, they'd switch to the natural minor. sometimes, you'll see the melodic minor played the same ascending and descending referred to as "jazz minor."
as for that lydian flat 7 scale--sure, why not? even if you just use that #4 as a passing note...
