I prefer Better Boy over Big Boy. I planted heirloom tomatoes along side the Better Boy this year. While the heirloom was good, the Better Boy tasted better. I bought the heirloom at Wal-Mart. I don't remember if it gave the variety other than it being an heirloom. I will pay more attention next year. The cherry tomatoes did very well in a container a few years ago. They never made it into a salad because I ate them directly off the tomato plant as I pass by it.
