Default Best saladette size tomato?

Folks, I am growing lots of salad size tomatoes in containers, up trellises like cherries. They do very well. My staples are:


Jaunne Flamme
Bloody Butcher
Halley's Purple Comet
Red Zebra (very very productive)

Not very successful:

Grappoli D'Inverno
Ailsa Craig
Green Zebra


What do you suggest for salad size tomatoes in terms of flavor and production?

Bulgarian Triumph is tasty, compact, productive, and produces perfect orbs.

For flavor, Wild Tiger. Not overly productive.

Pink Ping Pong is great. Here, it was a very tall, vigorous plant with great yield. It wasn’t as early as Jaune Flamme, but it was more productive.

Mandarin is worth a try!
Last year they were a little bigger than saladette, but a good tomato!

very partial to KARMA peach as well
you may like to try some of Fred Hempel`s newer ones such as green bee or Fuego Verde (green fire) some folks who grew them had ripe fruit that kept very well until December and January!

Bola Maciza as a dark, and I also like Bosque Blue Bumble Bee, which is a pale yellow antho. Both of them can vary in size depending on the weather.

I loved Haley Purple Comet, did have some splitting. Similar Kazachka but no splitting.
There is one that is just uber perfect, translated " For Exhibition" or Vustavochnyi? by Tania, round red that is tasty and has no blemishes. I have been growing it for couple of years now.
