Aunt Ginny's Purple is my all-time favorite tomato, out of about 2,000 trialed. Stump Of The World is my second favorite, Brandywine Sudduth is my third favorite, and Prudens Purple makes my top 10.
Brandywine Sudduth only tastes great, for me, about every 5th year. In that 5th year, it is similar in taste to SOTW, just stronger. In the other 4 years, it ranges from a bit weaker than SOTW, to being bland. SOTW is very consistent in flavor, except with very heavy rains (like with most tomatoes). Both tomatoes have "balanced" flavor.
Aunt Ginny's and Prudens do not taste the same, in my garden, although they are both very sweet.
Pink Berkeley Tie Dye is my favorite striped tomato for flavor, but is not up there with the best of the pinks.
I cannot comment on Bear Creek nor Cherokee Purple Heart, as I've not tried them. I do find most dark tomatoes, from my garden, hideous.
You have to decide if you want a wide, or more narrow, range of flavors in your selections.
