I like to use the pastes for sauces too, and some of the bigger varieties for roasting since they tend to hold up well to that type of cooking (San Marzano Redorta for example).
Oh and thank you for mentioning those other plum/elongated varieties, I'm only familiar with the Speckled Roman type out of those. Now i'm going to look those varieities up.

Nothing was really productive this year, so I wouldn't base much on my results. Last year Opalka and Jersey Devil were equally productive which is why they both earned a spot in my garden this year. Polish Linguisa was new this year, and all three produced equally, and none of them ever grew notably large fruit.
Just for the sake of comparison, below are (l-r or top to bottom - depending on how photo loads), Romeo (the first ripe one), Ernesto, Nudi Family Heirloom (it feel off the vine early), George O'Brien (another that might be back next year), and what I've typically seen from Polish Linguisa.
