Default tomatoes on steroids?

The main reason for my post is to get your opinion of Bucks County vs
Brandy Boy. I didn't hear of Brandy Boy until too late for this season.
Bucks County has been my favorite since I started planting them. How do
they compare in flavor, size, yield, etc?

Short story: I don't know.

Long story (kind of pathetic): We start the plants indoors. When we
start, we carefully keep track of which is which. Later, we move them
outside to harden off, and to larger pots. Finally, we put them in the
ground. By that time - every year - we don't know which is which. And,
every year, we swear we're going to do better next time.

In general, WRT flavor, we don't (IMO) get very good flavor from any
tomatoes. This may have to do with the soil, which is somewhat
alkyline, or the location (Syracuse NY), which is less sunny than some
places.

Sorry, not much help.
