Chapman X Brandywine, all F1s are identical so you only need one plant and a fruit or two to get seeds for your F2 growout.
BigBeef F1 X Brandywine: If you know anyone who has grown out BigBeef to try and make an OP version, they could tell you what kind of variation showed up and give you the range of fruit traits you might expect to see.
Assuming both parents of BigBeef are red beefs (which is likely IMO) then all your F1s are going to be red beefs. The traits that are more subtle, like disease resistance, production, and taste, are likely to be your selection points.
