what do y’all find is the best tomatoes to grow in south La?

I started some Dixie Red from seed. A bush type (determinate). (www.seedsnsuch.com)

This is my second year growing it.

I like it better than Celebrity, which was mentioned above. (I'm growing celebrity too.) Celebrity will produce a lot of small and medium size fruit with an occasional large one. Dixie Red produces a larger, more consistent fruit size.

This year I will have:
Dixie Red (Determinate)
Celebrity (Determinate/Indeterminate)
Black Krim (Indeterminate)
Cherokee Purple (Indeterminate)

I prefer determinate tomatoes, because suckering sucks.
