@Hazel-1- it's worth doing a trial - a couple of each type, treated differently to see if you notice any difference. I'm not a fan of too much feeding - mine only get a couple of feeds after the first truss sets. They shouldn't be fed before that. Treat 'em mean and encourage them to get to fruting stage

I'm going to do the same sort of thing @Hazel-1. I'm only growing two varieties [ I only have a small greenhouse] and I'll treat one lot differently from another and see if there's a difference. One of each variety in a large container, and feed one container more than the other.

A trial on Beechgrove showed that home-made comfrey feed is best for toms. Jim didn't believe it so they repeated it the next year and ever since then he's been singing the praises of comfrey for toms.

Crimson crush F1 are promoted as an outdoor tomato because there blight resistant. They can be grown in the greenhouse which I've done myself but, if you have a space in your garden best to grow them there as they will thrive in prepared soil or large pots with little chance of getting blight.This leaves you more space for the more delicate varieties in the greenhouse.
A new variety of the Crimson strain ( again blight resistant) is just out called Crimson Cocktail f1 which is recommended for the greenhouse. These are a small sized fruit similar to Gardeners delight. Might be worth a try.
I'm going to try them myself in 2020.
Have fun and enjoy your growing.
