Default Roma tomatoes?

I noticed my local grocery store offering packets of "Roma Tomato" seeds
but that started me wondering if they taste any better than store bought.

So, anyway, I live in the Pacific Northwest. Are Roma Tomatoes suitable
for my growing region? Has anybody had trouble with Roma Tomatoes? What
kind of problems am I going to run into here?

Last summer, our tomato plants were eaten down to the nub by the Columbia
Blacktail Deer that frequent our property, a sight worse than being eaten
by slugs. (We found deer hoofprints all over the tomato garden, and
signs of deer teeth nipping away at the tomato plants.)
