Roma, Early Girl, Mountain Spring Sucker them?

Last year I grew 2 Early Girls and a Brandywine. Both were in large containers on my deck and grew to about 7-8 feet tall. This year I have Early Girls, Romas, and a Mountain Spring plant. I know to sucker the Early Girls as they grow. But I have realized Romas are bushy and will get to be about 4 feet tall. Am I right to just let the Romas do their own thing and not sucker them? My Mountain Spring, sucker or no? Thanks.

I think Romas are determinate. And I think you should not prune or remove suckers on determinates. People usually say to leave them alone. The other tomatoes I have no idea.
