Tomato variety without greenhouse

Please recommend me some tomato varieties which do well without greenhouse, preferably salad and cooking type. I will plant in good size pots and sunny location. 

I am not too particular about taste. As long as it gives good crop without greenhouse I will be very happy.

In last couple of years I have grown sungold, gardeners delight and some other cherry tomatoes and they did well. For salad tomato, I have tried money maker and some Lidl seeds, I forgot what was name.

    Forgot to mention, I usually start seeds indoors in warm conservatory around mid to end of march.

    My favourite outdoor tomato is Harbinger, always grown outside, so far not let me down and the green tomato chutney is a bonus, although there weren't enough for chutney last year! I don't find much taste in Moneymaker or Alicante. We had some free Maskotka seeds in GW magazine but they didn't like my garden at all so I think it is trial and error as where you are seems to make quite a difference to taste.

    Same family as potatoes and their taste can vary a lot in different parts of the country  :D

    I've grown Crimson Crush for a few years now. Quite reliable and very blight resistant. Good for outdoors and greenhouse.
