Not the easiest to grow, or the most productive, but it is hard to beat the taste of a Brandywine.

I agree with the Scary Looking Lady about the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes. Sweet like eating fruit.
I have not been successful with the beefsteak varieties and a local farm grows the Brandywine so I will get those there.
Several local people have also mentioned the San Marzano so I will try growing them.
Plus, I will look for the pineapple tomatoes Michael mentioned.

Here's some info about the Pineapple. It's a beefsteak variety as well, and, to be honest, I've had trouble growing them. But, they're totally worth it, IMHO, if you can grow them.

I have 48 Beefmasters and just added Mr. Stripey, Old German, Hillbilly and Lemon Boy.
I've been a bit too depressed to feel like growing sh!t, butt I found a double grafted tom yesterday that I'm going to try, it has Marzano on one side and Brandywine on the other. On one plant.
