splurged and got a grafted Black Krim. So far so good...lots of tomatoes coming, no blossom end rot yet (used some gypsum and bone meal this year), very vigorous and happy. Can't wait.

Tried Black Prince last year and loved it
Always grow Sungold and Green Zebra
Tried Mr. Stripey and found them easy, impressive growers but mealy fruit.
Trying Persimmon, Black Sea Man, and Caspian Pink for the first time. Caspian Pink is supposed to be even better tasting than Brandywine.

Good luck!
