Default Thoughts on Tomato Varieties for Canning

Hi All,

Every year I can about two bushels of tomatoes for my family. After a few years of gardening I have yet to get all of those tomatoes from my own garden. I grow heirloom tomatoes and was wondering if this wonderful group would have any thoughts on good varieties to grow for canning purposes. I am looking for a tomato (preferably OP but am open to trying a hybrid) that is high yielding with a good general tomato flavor. I have plenty of very flavorful tomatoes and would prefer to eat them fresh. I live in Pennsylvania. I've seen Costoluto Genovese mentioned as a good variety for canning, any other thoughts? Thank you!
