Shule, there's a lot to think about there.

The one I would like to see most is

Porter x Sungold

Porter is a pink cherry that grows and tastes better when grown in drought years, and features no splitting, drought hardiness, copious production, Pink-excellent taste, the only tomato that I have grown from spring through first frost, a canning tomato that tastes even better when eaten fresh - Especially with a little salt = my nickname here came from eating Porter tomatoes with a little salt.

Sungold is smaller and a splitter, but has a "Different good taste", is also a copious producer, and early. I do like the three phases of Sungold ripeness and the different tastes.

I could see the heirloom Porter being crossed with an F1 Sungold. I would try doing it myself, but I have no idea how.
