I also am growing tomatoes to sell (trying to start a nuresry actually). I have sold tomatoes in the past years and foud that people want selection and the odd ball tomatoes. I have never had one person ask for any thing "boy" or "girl" but have had loads of requests for cherokee purple, anything that's green when ripe, black cherry, brandywine, and pear shaped tomatoes. Most people I have dealt with have trusted my advice and go with what I tell them will work in our heat and humidity rather tan asking for some hybrid like bigboy or better boy.
As for your selections they look good although I would add more selection. I would have at least 2 of each color my favorties for our climate by color being
black/purple: cherokee purple, black krim, and black brandywine rl
Yellow: aunt g's gold, wonderlight, and golden egg
white: snowball, Big white
Red: Creole, market mircale and smokey mountan red
pink: county agent, pink potatotop, heathering pink
Green: cherokee green, evergreen
bicolor: luckycross
I would also do atlest 2 paste, 2 cherry and 2 beefstakes
my favorites being
paste: banana legs, amish paste
cherry: golden egg, smokey mountain red
beefsteak: cherokee purple, pink potato top
hope that helps
