Default tomato recommendation wanted

A neighbor and good friend want me to germinate some tomato seeds for her; she want a medium size red (4-10oz) sweet and few seeds. Any recommendations? thanks.

Valiant, Victoria, Moira, Red Bird, Three Sisters, Condine Red, Alpatieva 905A, Early Annie, Basket Vee, Mama Leone, Kootenai, Red Beauty, Redskin, Twilly Red King, and Sixth Ave....
A few will only make the 4 oz. limit...Early Annie and Kootenai in particular, but Early Annie makes up for it in quantity...

For a sweet flavorful red of that size with few seeds - Amish Paste, Shannon's, Prue, Box Car Willie, Mule Team, and Rasp Red are a few other choices.

Cabot is a red that I thought was sweet, but I can't remeber about the seeds. Seemed like they were no more or less abundant than other varieties.

Momotaro Hybrid came to mind....it's more pink or pinkish-red.
