Hey Bob,
I'm not sure if these are people's favorites, but here are some popular large red/pink/black dwarfs. I also included some from Dwarf Project. Hope it helps!

New Big Dwarf (large pink beefsteaks)

Sleeping Lady ( black beefsteaks, from Dwarf Project)

Silvery Fir Tree (unique foliage, tart red beefsteaks. Some like flavor, some don't! Good to try, though. My mother loved these! I just loved the leaves. )

Dwarf Wild Fred (black beefsteaks, from Dwarf Project)

Iditarod Red (Not very big, one to three ounces, but It's red and from the Dwarf Project, so it should be good.

)

There are tons more, and can be found at Tatiana's Tomato Base in the dwarf section.

Click on downloading the PDF file, and I beleive page 67 is the start of the dwarfs.

Good luck! Happy Holidays,
Taryn

There has been an ongoing project over the last few years, undertaken by quite a few people who post here, to breed tons of new and delicious dwarf tomato varieties. It has resulted in some incredible finds indeed!

In the large, red to black types, I'd suggest any of the following:
--------------------------
Dwarf Wild Fred
Rosella Purple
Tasmanian Chocolate
Sleeping Lady
Yukon Quest

Tatiana has all of these for sale, over at Tatiana's Tomatobase, mentioned in the previous post.
