If mosaic virus is typically a problem for you, it would be good to look for hybrids that have that resistance. A hybrid without that resistance won't necessarily help you compared to heirlooms. Cornell is a good resource for specific resistance information:

Note that there are two main mosaic viruses of tomatoes (tobacco and tomato); varieties may have resistance to either one or both or neither. Some of the better-known hybrids with resistance to at least one of the mosaics:
BHN-589
Big Beef
Bigdena
Bolseno
Bush Early Girl II
Caiman
Celebrity
Chef's Choice (not all of them)
Cobra
Early Girl
Estiva
Goliath
Heatmaster
Jetsetter
Momotaro
Mountain Gem
Whopper
Polbig
Primo Red
Red Deuce
RuBee Dawn
Think Pink
Tough Boy
