Default You've got the look, but have you got the touch?

...or the taste, in this case. In cruising through catalogues and galleries, a few varieties have caught my eye just for sheer beauty. Obviously, though, I don't want to grow a gorgeous fruit that tastes like a donkey's butt*, so I'm taking an informal little survey. Yes, I know taste is subjective, flavor varies from garden to garden, blah blah blah, but let's face it, there are some varieties that are widely loved (Brandywine, for example) and some that are the butt of many a tomatophile joke (like Yellow Pear).
So, how do y'all like these?

Berkeley Tie Dye
Purple Calabash
Costoluto Genovese
Isis Candy
Mortgage Lifter Bicolor Strain
Pineapple
Burracker's Favorite

Feel free to point out if any of these are consistantly problematic to grow, overly sensitive to heat and/or humidity (I'm in Georgia), or anything else you found noteworthy about whichever variety you may have experience with.

*Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing. Really.
