Black Tula is my favorite and I'll be growing some more this year, you can buy seeds from Ready to grow (http://www.readytogrow.co.uk/seeds/p_Black_from_Tula_Tomato.html).

I grew Black Ethiopian last year - a black plum which was very tasty indeed!  Grew it in the open on my allotment and picked bucketfulls!  Will be doing those again this year, and White Beauty...planning pretty tomato salads already!

I can highly recommend Tschernomor Black if you like the beefsteak type. I can't seem to find a source of seed for it anymore, glad I made the effort to save my own this summer

I like Black Russian, too, although it's a big plant.
