If you choose to use Jiffy , they make a larger pellet specific to tomatoes. Baby tomato plants grow fast and the small pellets dry out quickly indoors. Unless you live in a warm climate you will need to repot into a larger container within a few weeks until your soil warms sufficiently for outdoor planting.
If you can't devote a space to soil preparation and are growing a very small number of plants and keeping careful watch, the Jiffy for tomatoes will be more cost effective than starting with the smaller pellets and having to purchase larger pots. Otherwise, I second the above methods.
