I grew both of those and they were REALLY good! I thought that black krim and marglobe were equally as good.
I had sugary grape toms this year too, and they were great, and extremely productive. With the recent raining boom, they have been cracking pretty bad though.
I also like pink German, but not as much as the before mentioned.

Upon further consideration I would have to include the Tomato Rose as another good slicer.
Unfortunatly its been planted in a 5gl bucket.
It seems somewhat dwarfed but still very tasty.
Here is my list of heirlloms bests to best to soso slicers-
Black Krim
Tomato Rose
Red Brandywine
Purple Cherokee
Red Zebra (tough skinned)
Better Boy (hybrid?)
Yellow Bradywine (not heathy)
Aunt Ruby's German Green (still green-not ripe yet)
Best Cherry Tomato-
Isis Candy.
Already looking to next year!

I like Big Beef, Beef Steak, Jet Star, they are all the same type, same size, same flavor tomatoe. They slice excellent and don't fall apart. Perfect of sandwich and hamburger. Good flavor. Grow very well. They produce tomatoes in about 65 days after planting. Large producer of lots and lots of tomatoes until it frosts. Great for canning in mason jars. Great for chili, pizza, spagetti, soups of all kinds.
