Does it depend on the type of cucumber.. Is it healthy?

If you wash it first, of course it's fine.
It also contains additional fibre, as it contains less water than the inside, and so has more space to pack it in.
Never even heard of peeling a cucumber...
'course, if it has mould growing on it, just throw away the whole cucumber.

Cucumbers are harmless. They are mostly water, anyways. My only concern would be that you need to make sure you are eating other food items that contribute to a balanced diet. In other words, it's okay to eat 5 cucumbers a day, just make sure that's not the only thing you eat! Cumbers alone don't have all the proteins, energy, and vitamins that your body needs.

It is OK, but some people, like myself, find it very hard to digest and I find that I am better off if I peel the skin off.
The two types of cucumbers that I am familiar with are what I consider regular ones and the English variety. The skin on the English cucumber isn't quite as thick and I find that one is easier to digest.

Yes, I have been to many restaurants that have served the cucumber skin. It does make the cucumber taste a little bitter, but still good. I have also heard that alot of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables are more in the skin, than the rest of the fruit

Yes it is good to eat cucumber skin. I just love it. Skins have lot of properties that is needed by our body. it adds roughage to our diet hence helps cleanse our colon.

I've never heard of a problem...especially the smooth, green, "English" (?) cucumber type most commonly found in stores.

it's fine to eat the skin but sometimes it can be a bit bitter. i don't know if it has any actual advantages but it won't hurt you.
