Default Opinions on which varieties I should put in containers

I hope to get some opinions on which varieties will do better in a container or in a raised bed. Somehow, I have more tomato seedlings than I have room for and I plan to use 11 containers of varying sizes. I have six 15 gallon and five 7 gallon containers.

Here are my plans:

Stump of the World - 15 gal
Neves Azorean Red - 15 gal
Orlov Yellow - 15 gal

Green Doctor's - 7 gal
Rideau Sweet Cherry - 7 gal
Gold Rush Currant - 7 gal
Brad's Black Heart - 7 gal
Red Brandywine Heart - 7 gal

So would any of the following perform better in a 15 gal containers than in a raised bed?


Grub's Mystery Green
Indian Stripe
1884 Purple
Gary O' Sena
Cherokee Chocolate
Dora
Terhune
Brandywine Sudduth
Chapman
Magnum Beefsteak
Red Brandywine

Those that I don't put in the containers will go into my raised bed and I plan to try the weave style trellis and trim back to two or three leaders per plant. The outside rows are already planted and will be caged. I want the inside row (still not planted) to not be so overgrown so I plan to prune pretty well to keep the center of the bed manageable - so I can get in to find ripe fruit.

Thanks,
Joe
