For nice tasting hybrids, Better Boy, very consistent and balanced nice taste considering. Juliet, but taste was not good enough to me for fresh eating.

For heirlooms: Orange Russian 117 and Ruby Gold, both delicious.
Cheers

Ditto I grew it every year for many years. Decided to skip it this year since I had so many new ones to try. A great all around tomato for sure.

Hanky Red, a determinate was one of the most productive I have ever grown.

Agree.
Big Beef (F1) is doing great this year (for the first time) in my garden. I wish I had planted more. It has great reviews . It was also the earliest.

The other one ( already mentioned) is Azoychka. I have one plant about 9 ft tall and is loaded and keeps setting. The older ones are ready to color break.

In short, out of nearly 24 new varieties the followings are the most productive:

=== Big Beef (F1)
=== Juliet (F2)
=== Azoychka ( OP)
=== Fourth of July (hyb)
=== Willamette (OP)

Those are coming back next year for sure.

Same here, Big Beef doing well for me, although Wes and Indian Stripe have better production so far, but my BB are in the worst spot in the garden. They are also loaded with more tomatoes right now so they will probably surpass the others. Getting a better spot next year for sure.

Early Girl, hands down. I have two vines that are now over 10 feet tall, have produced over 30 ripe tomatoes so far, and each have over 60 tomatoes set! I grew these from seed, Burpee. Unbelievable......

Sorry for the ugly mug, but this was a few of them 2 weeks ago...
