I should have added that the varieties that I have had the most success with are Celebrity, Champion, Big boy, Lemon Boy, Ultra or Early Girl and Roma. I bought the gardening book on tomatoes by Lois Hole and tried varieties suggested for my area.

For cherry tomatoes, Tumbler, Sungold (very hard to find, only place I can find them is Garden Retreat), most varieties of the grape tomato work well. Most grape tomatoes are indeterminate though, growing very tall, and need to be staked and grown in cages, out of the direct wind too, otherwise they will topple over. I even put rocks in the bottom of some of my pots to give them extra weight and guard against the wind toppling them over.
