Black Krim and Paul Robeson are my purples.

I like Principe Borghese for drying, good sharp flavor.

My mainstay is Striped (or Speckled) Roma, good sauce tomato with yellow stripes. Very hardy, strong flavor. Neglect them and they still produce. But they need calcium to prevent blossom end rot. A few eggshells will do it.
