My first year trying any of the newer dwarf tomato varieties. I think these will be easier to tuck here and there in the rest of the garden, since they should pretty much fit a standard tomato cage. (I use standard tomato cages in my tomato bed too, but I usually stake the cages for additional support, and indeterminate plants will completely engulf their cages by the end of summer.)

I'm starting with these 3, chosen for their relatively large fruit size.

Pink Passion (oxheart shape)
Rosella Crimson
Sweet Sue (yellow)

I've grown Micro Tom, Tiny Tim, New Big Dwarf, Hanging Basket, and Silver Fir Tree in the past. Micro Tom was (IMO) inedible, and Silvery Fir Tree was pretty sour also. I think New Big Dwarf contributed genes to a lot of the Dwarf Tomato Project lines.

Not sure if Tumbling Tom is considered a dwarf or not, but it's my favorite cherry tomato -- has a balanced "big tomato" flavor.
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
