Default Help me choose some blacks

Hi,

I am making my grow list for this year.
I will add some blacks but something in me is holding me back. I have only grow a couple of blacks and was not crazy about them. Last year I grew Rebel Alliance and Purple bumble bee and both were rather tasteless, no sweetness, just boring, like a soup without salt. Our summers are cool and I have a shady garden. The circumstances are thus not great. Two and three years ago I grew a black tomato that gave a huge production of enormous fruits. I got the plant from someone and in those days I wasn't aware that I would never find its name if I didn't ask it. I didn't realise there were so many varieties, so it is a nameless one that looks like Large barred boar. Anyway, I loved it for juices and gazpacho but again, boring to eat it as is.
But I'll give the blacks a new chance. I am growing the nameless black anyway plus a few other ones.
I have seed from these varieties. They are all early or mid season. The temperatures are just to low for late varieties here. I would like a tasty, sweet tomato with at least a decent production. Here is my list:

Black From Tula
Black Krim
Noire de Crimée
Paul Robeson
Bear Creek (tempted to choose this one)
Black and red boar
Chocolate stripes
Not chocolate stripes aka Mocha splash (tempted too)
Large barred boar (tempted to see if it is my nameless one)
Berkeley tie dye
Pink Berkeley tie dye
Margeret Curtain
Cherokee purple

Thanks for helping me out!
