Just canned some tomatoes yesterday.

We planted Early Girl, Better Boy, Health Kick (similar to a Roma), Garden Gem, Beefsteak, and Moby Grapes this year. 18 plants total.
Those varieties seem to do the best for us here. Been planting a garden for over 20 years now.

Tried Brandywines a couple years ago but they did not do well.

Those little yellow cherry tomatoes look interesting! Might have to give those a try next year! Love the name, Egg Yolk!
