Default Growing Brandywines in Wisconsin

I'm a pretty new gardener and my first couple years I grew a "Brandywine" from a local greenhouse, last year and this year I started seeds from a Burpee packet labeled "Pink Brandywine".
This year's seedlings did not survive but I have a Pruden's Purple I was growing to compare that did (so far...though now the leaves are not looking so great and I'm worried!).

Anyways...I was wondering if anyone here has successfully grown a certain strain, or cross, or brandywine like tomato in Wisconsin or in zone 4? (I'm 4b so maybe I should ask about zone 5 as well?)
The first two years I grew it from the plant it was the best tasting tomato I've ever had...but it didn't produce a lot (I think 5-6 tomatoes...maybe) so I'm on the hunt for something similar that will produce more and earlier.

I'm thinking of getting Sudduth's, Cowlick's, and BrandyBoy seeds to compare with the Pruden's Purple and the Burpee seeds.

Should I try anything else in Wisconsin zone 4b? Just give up without a greenhouse?
