Do you pick toms by size or colour?

The reason I ask is because I have two varietys in a grow bag, Allacante
and
Beefstake.
Some toms are red and small and some big and green, and this occurs on
both
varietys, do you pick the big and green ones and let them ripen on a
window
sill and leave the small red ones to grow bigger?

TIA

I find that they taste best when picked for colour - and texture. Sometimes
if red ones are left on th vine to grow, they just become overripe and
mushy. Have a squeeze before you pick!!
