Tomato selections for Rockhill, SC

My son is just getting serious about growing tomatoes in the Rock Hill, South Carolina area. Last year he had a general crop failure, suffering first with early blight and then with BER.
He suspects that in addition to disease problems he needs guidance on variety selection for that specific area of the country.

I've got a pretty fair handle on early blight control techniques but am a bit bewildered with the BER situation. His soil testsl on the alkaline side. Normally I would suggest adding lime to his soil but that would only compound the alkaline situation.

We would very much appreciate some suggestions on BER control, alkalinity correction, and specific tomato varieties that are known to do well in that area.
