I use big beef and one that came from a commercial source called susy and haven't lost one yet to wilt. On the other hand my family's old standby green zebra... one we love for salsa has been growing in my garden for years and last year I had two going and lost both over a period of weeks without getting a single tomato from them... so until I lose a resistant variety with the string of letters, I have to believe they really are resistant. The taste is good though not as great as others that are more prone to disease. Bonnie Best has always been the one we use for canning, but again last year was terrible for it also. In fact I had never lost one before without getting some fruit, till then.
