I have to go with Rutgers for now, best all purpose non hybrid I have grown. BUT I am earnestly searching for others. And for sure there are better, each in its own way. You said ONE though. That makes it tough. You could have an awesome cherry for example, but useless for slicing on a sandwich. Or you could have a great beefsteak for sandwiches, but not so good in canning, or catsup or whatever. Rutgers may not be the best in any one use anymore, but for me it is still the best general purpose type of the "Jersey" tomatoes.
