I never had aphids on my tomatoes until last year when I discovered an infestation of pink aphids. I had never even seen pink aphids before and when I Googled them I discovered that they are called Potato aphids.
They were only on 2-3 of my plants as I recall and they were my Brandywine's. I found a few on one other plant that was not a Brandywine but not very many were on that plant. All 3 Brandywines were in the same location so I don't know if the aphid infestation was variety dependent or location dependent. It probably had more to do with the location and spreading from one plant to the next.
I got rid of them by spraying with the hose for several days and that got rid of most of them but I think that I ended up spraying with Neem before they were gone entirely.
