Black Cherry and Chocolate Cherry are also good croppers. Slightly larger than Sungold and a little later to crop. Everyone's taste is different tho so it is a bit difficult to say categorically "Try this variety - I love it and so will you ". A lot of flavour will be lost if any tomato is either watered or fed too much. The newer varieties being produced all have to meet the "sweetness" test it seems. Forget the added acidic tang which makes all the difference. Most SM toms have little or no flavour, sweet or otherwise. If it is red and round and the label says Tomato, that seems to be sufficient. Production methods over the years have a lot to answer for.
Another vote for Maskotka. I grew it in a pot on our south facing terrace but did need to prop the various branches up off the paving as they became heavy. Couldn't find that particular seed last year though and haven't so far this year.
SM cherry tomatoes bought 'on the vine' taste much better but are more expensive.
I'm going to try them this year after seeing so many recommendations. Just ordered mine from Premier Seeds - 20 seeds + postage only £1.88 - very reasonable! Thanks for the recommendation @Zenjeff
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

Treat 'em mean.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
