I think good soil should out-perform any container mix in regard to flavor, at least in my climate.

I grew Dwarf Tasmanian Chocolate in 4-gallon pots last summer, and they were the best container tomato I've ever had. The mix was basic pro-mix with simple chem fertilizer. That was the first container plant I've grown that rivaled the flavor of soil tomatoes.
