I would have to say the one we liked the most last year and that has definitely made it into regular rotation is Barry's Crazy Cherry tomato.

Massive clusters of yellow pear shaped cherry tomatoes.

Which, surprisingly, Brad Gates is both the Brad in Brad's Atomic Grape and the Barry in Barry's Crazy Cherry. And while I love the cherries, I hated the atomic grapes!

I like sweet million for cherry tomatoes and heatmaster since I live in a 6 month long sauna here in S. Ga. !! 😄 I plant moneymaker in early spring then the heatmasters.

I tried the yellow pear tomatoes and wasn't crazy about them.

I think cherry tomatoes are evil. The seeds get everywhere and you end up with sprouts all over. I'm not a big fan of the texture either.

I do like San marzano, black krim and lemon boy. I'm not too picky but generally go for indeterminate varieties

I am one for old fashioned varieties that look the way I feel a tomato should, so Moneymaker and Ailsa Craig.
Ailsa Craig was bred in 1908, Moneymaker probably slightly later, both well over a hundred years ago, and seed for both still widely sold.
RAF, it's a French variety, from Marmande. Not amazing looking fruit, butt the name is is from the initials of resistant to disease, and at the end of the season when disease is starting to spread it remains immune.

Me too. If you have a good year, you never stop picking them. For every decent size tom. you have to pick ten cherries.
Black Krim, Brandywine and Money Maker are my best performers.
