I've got mostly heirlooms planted but I want a hybrid for insurance. If you could only plant one, which of these 2 would you pick? (I've been given a few plants of each, so unless to think there is a much better hybrid out there I'd choose one of these.)

Thanks!

There are many much better hybrids out there but if you already have these plants and they were free then you might as well use them. Of the 2 I'd pick Super Beefsteak just because the fruit are bigger.

Thanks, the plants were free, and though I could go out and get a better one, the hybrid is mostly for "extras" to throw into my sauce/soup, as I will be eating my heirlooms. :)

Nice-looking plants!
