Big Beef is a good one but I have always been partial to the Cherokee Purple. VERY GOOD FLAVOR and you can save the seeds! I live in Central OK with sandy soil and they both do well.

I really like Big Beef because it produces great tasting, crack resistant tomatoes on a disease free plant, but I don't really think of it as a meaty tomato. Cherokee Purple is a nice tomato, but the dark color may be a turn off to some people. Pineapple is good producer of huge, very meaty fruit, but it a yellow fruited variety. (My wife wrinkles her nose when she looks at the color of the two!) A nice, meaty, early determinate tomato is a variety called Daybreak. Another meaty variety that I really like is Caspian Pink, which has pink colored skin. It produces an ugly looking tomato, but it tastes great and is a better producer than Brandywine.

There are good descriptions of many varieties that may help you make up your mind.

I grow Roma's in Albuquerque and they do very well here. Our soil
is probably about the same as yours. They are small & teardrop
shaped, very meaty and make an excellent base for spaghetti sauce,
or just for munching. Before I retired I used to take my extras to
work. They would last less than 5 minutes. Just planted some today
as a matter of fact.
Probably the best thing to do is snag a few from the grocery store
and try them out. If ya like em, plant some.
