Default Companion plants for tomatoes

I've been to all the web sites; I used to print out the companions for practically every food crop that can be grown in this area (Southern California coastal, 1 mile from the sea. Often overcast in May and June due to marine layer.)



Still confused about companions for tomatoes. I know what NOT to plant, but some of the sites vary as to what CAN be planted; e.g. some say cucumbers, others not.



Question: Can I get tomato companion planting input from any NG members who grow tomatoes in a (reasonably) similar climate?



TIA

The best companion for tomatoes that I have found is sweet basil, convenient also.
