Default tomato types

Hi,
I was just wondering what peoples thoughts were on different tomato varieties I am planning on 1500 plants this year a step up from 200 last year. last year Beafsteak, celebrities and early girls. The early girls were horibble small and not very many. Celebrities were all right but with my BeafSteaks I averaged 20 pounds a plant. I had also grown 30 plants that were labeled California wonders..which were kind of small. This year chosen based off of the information on http://www.tomatogrowers.com/ here is my line up for 2010.

Tomatoes
Champion Hybrid #2429A

Bush Beefsteak #2538A

Celebrity Hybrid #3980A

Oregon Spring #2712A

Peppers
Red Beauty Hybrid #9197A

Camelot Hybrid #9849A

Golden Calwonder #9054A

I plan on growing at least 1200-1500 tomato plants and around 700-800 green pepper plants. I live in midwest illinois so here are my question
s

1. Are these good varieties are far as anybody knows?
2. What varieties should I be shooting for for my state?
3. How much market share do your heirlooms make up in your sales?

Thanks ahead of time
