I've grown 3 of the ones on your list and even though my Cowlicks got TSWV it still produced nearly 30 fruit. I gave a Cowlicks plant to a friend who set it out and it was one of his top producers.

Barlow Jap made a huge plant but dropped most of its' blooms during the high heat so I only got about 5 or 6 tomatoes. They were fairly good sized and very tasty. It might do fine in Virginia which seems almost up north to me.

Hoy suffered and never produced any usable fruit for me last year.

I know for a fact that Cowlicks can handle the high heat and humidity; so if you can only grow one it might be your best bet. I'm not familiar with the others.
