this is a really hard question- a bit like asking what is the best painting but of the ones which grown reasonably productively outside in the uk I would vote for Black Krim

Black Krim are lovely to eat but look fab too.  My other favorite from the last couple of years is the coeur de boeuf types so Ill be growing them again this year.
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

last year I grew a "Coeur d'Albenga" which is very heart shaped and heavily ribbed. they were really delicious. Personally I also like the yellow Ananas types that get very fat. they have a nice sweet flavour and a sort of interesting fruity tang.
I love eating this types of tomatoes just sliced, salt, pepper, and at most a little drizzle of olive oil and a few shavings of parmesan cheese...mop up all the juices with crusty bread. nom nom nom
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

I grew Big Daddy F1 and Corazon F1 last year, both were tasty tomatoes and did well, but I wouldn't say WOW must grow again this year!
