The Most popular and recommended suppliers as per my point of view a
Suttons Seeds, Dobies Seeds, Unwins Seeds and Thompson & Morgan. May
kindly share, if you have more variety in this regard.
In the US, I like Johnny's, Park's, Pinetree and wherever it is I find
Bradley's.


Glad to see this thread! I was getting tired of the "usual
suspects"
available at the nurseries and home-owner stores.

Which of the above-listed (including the heirlooms) would do best in
So. Calif. coastal. Note that I like a "sharp" acidic? tomato, not a
bland one. For eating, not necessarily cooking.

Your recommendations appreciated.

Green Zebra's have a nice amount of acid, as do some of the other green
types. Probably you, like I, would not be too fond of the black types.

My favorites were Pineapple and Cherokee Purple. I grew a Black Krim that
was tasty
