I grew it back a few years ago and later when it wasn't popular and loved it.
I have tons of them growing and some need homes.

Captain Lucky is great, one of my all time favourites.

Orange Russian 117 is very good although quite late for me.

Hawaiian Pineapple and Virginia Sweets are the sweetest fruitiness tomatoes I have ever tasted. They are yellow tomatoes with red blossom ends. Are you considering stripes as bicolor so, cause there are some excellent choices.
