Default Which Tomato Should I Choose?

Howdy Y'all,

As a newbie to this group and at the beginning of planting season, I have a general question, if you please.

I live in Greensboro, N.C., the northern Piedmont area of N.C. (Zone 7). Our usual latest frost date is 15 April, with the earliest frost date of 15 October. I do use walls of water to protect early transplants. I have been growing tomatos since the early 1960's. I have a small (150x30 ft garden) in which I plant tomatos, okra, cucumbers, squash, and peppers. I cage my tomatos and usually grow my plants from seed, but this year circumstances have forced me to forgo that pleasure and purchase plants.

I usually plant about a dozen tomato plants for personal and family use. The garden gets 8+ hours of direct sun/day. My preference has been Park's Whoppers since they have good resistance, are indeterminate, and bear uniform tasty fruit consistantly for most of the season.

My question: Can anyone suggest a better choice which is usually readily available?

Thanks,
