Don't forget sunlight - direct sun from dawn to dusk leads to less "reaching" - lower light conditions reduce yields (especially larger fruited varieties) and can create monster vines.

There are just so many variables that as Feldon said, best to just assume you will have to use tall stakes for indeterminates (I buy 8 foot tall ones), and use useless tomato cages (the 3 or 4 foot cone shaped things) for determinates and dwarf varieties.
