What are the most overrated varieties?

Marianna's Peace. I've grown this variety three times and it always fails to deliver.

What happens in my garden/growing conditions is that (a) it seems to be more susceptible to early blight than many of the other varieties I've grown, and (b) it takes awhile to start setting fruit. That is a major double whammy here in Texas.

So - basically, by the time the plants have set (few) fruit, the plants are so diseased that fruits don't reach their full potential for flavor or size, and/or they get sunscald. Just my experience.
