Here in California I like the cherrys, they are sweet. I'm sad that the REAL monster Beefsteak tomatoes can't be grown here, all we have is a sad cross that is labeled Beefsteak. Real Ox Hearts are also almost unknown out here.
Some of the older ones have a true tomato taste, but are hard to find. One of my Grandmother's old ones (Pink and yellow stripes) I've tried for years to grow from seed sent by cousins back in WV, they sprout and then die.
I usually get the "Heirloom" tomatoes from the grocery and when cutting them save the seeds. The crosses don't come true from seeds, which might be a good thing. Might actually get a good one that would be profitable to grow. When I find one I like, I can take cuttings and have them winter over in a sheltered spot and then have a good start on the summer.
