Ok, disclaimer before I go on...I have only grown plants from commercially available seeds, meaning mostly hybrids.
That said, my favorite for size and flavor last year was Super Beefsteak from Burpee. I can't remember what cherry tomatoes I had last year, but they were really good. I had Early Girls (I think) as well, was not impressed with the size nor number of tomatoes I got. Seems that they only grew slightly bigger than the cherry tomatoes, and didn't have a lot of flavor.
This year I'm putting in 2 varieties of beefsteak, SB and Porterhouse.
I love my red tomatoes, but after reading a lot of posts here, and thinking about it, I believe I'll try a heirloom or two in different colors next year. I'm not a fan of the flavor of most yellow tomatoes, but might try some purple/blue ones.
