I have found Opalka to be the absolute best for drying. It has a better taste than the determinate Roma and is a good all around tomato also for eating and canning.

Also, Amish Paste is great and also indeterminate. What are your favorites?

Just a few that come up often in answer to this question:

Principe Borghese
San Marzano (my personal fav)
Chinese
Any cherry (esp. Sungold and Black Cherry)
Goldman's Italian
Opalka
Dino

Just pull up all of 'brokenbar' discussions for lots of suggestions.
