Melee is unfortunately rather underpowered in general as you move along through the game. Of the three you listed, Rhino is probably the most overall useful. He's the tankiest frame so you can really get in there, and Rhino Roar is going to up your damage in addition to being one of the best team buffs in the game.

One thing you should know, is that Pressure Point does not enhance your Charge Attacks. As counter-intuative as it may seem. You'll probably want to drop it in favor of Killing Blow, because Charge Attacks are significantly more useful than regular swings. Also when you can, drop Smite Grineer and get Sundering Strike, which will offer more Armor Piercing damage. Reflex Coil will also help you spam Charge Attacks quickly as well, and Melee Channel will help you get nice juicy charge hits after using abilities.

It's a lot of rare mods unfortunately, but the idea is basically to maximize your charge damage so you don't have to spend time DPSing an enemy. You may also want to eventually upgrade your weapon because Cronus is a bit of a low damage weapon for enemies in the 60+ range. Dark Sword is up on Alerts fairly frequently and is funtionally a straight upgrade from Cronus. Though you may want to consider moving to heavier melee weapons like Orthos or Fraggor.
