Over the years, I've realised that I don't like dark-skinned tomatoes because its hard to tell when they are ripe. I also don't like yellow or green tomatoes for similar reasons.
I'm too impatient to wait for beefsteak tomatoes to ripen so they're out too. Similarly, the currant sized ones like Millefleur - too small and fiddly.
I don't like overly sweet tomatoes like Sungold. A tomato should have a bit of a "bite/tang" to it.
I like to grow a few small, early tomatoes for the first taste of summer. Plus some large cherry tomatoes for snacking on through the year Also some larger salad size ones. I don't often cook tomatoes.
My old standbys were Mountain Princess, Oregon Spring and Legend but the old seeds haven't germinated for a couple of years so I've given up on them. I've been growing Aurora for the last few years as a substitute for an early bush.
I've also stopped growing potato leaf tomatoes because they cross with regular leafed toms so the seeds of both will be a gamble, if you save them.
