To answer Kat's question, I'm only doing one container this year. My wife is already looking at me funny. Nothing in the ground this year due to some upcoming septic work in the back yard this summer and the only sunny spots left are in the front yard. 
Raybo - I will take a look at the mix again just to make sure. I'm pretty sure it is soil - free.
Thanks everyone!

Good choice!!!
Tomatobabycompany is a wonderful source! She was very responsive and helpful last year (MY first year... after I drowned all my seedlings... repeatedly!) A warning, she likes to send "bonuses" so you might want to tell her you don't have ANY spare room, lol!
Looking at her list (which MAY still be last year's... not sure) I'm thinking for a large "red" (or at least not too strangely colored) you might consider: German Johnson, Mexico, NAR (Neves Azorean Red), Red Brandywine, and Cherokee Purple....
Perhaps someone with WAY MORE actual experience will peruse the list at the link above and offer some suggestions.
Also, check out Tatiana's Tomatobase if you haven't done so already... TONS of info and reviews and pics!!!Can't link to it at the moment, but will add a link later if I remember.
