Default Crossing with Orange Tomatoes

If one were to cross a pink tomato with an orange tomato, using one with the B (beta) gene(e.g., Jaune Flamme), would it be better to use the pink or orange as the female? My thought is if B is expressed in the F1, then using the pink as the female would be best since I'd know the cross took. If another orange variety is used that say has t (tangerine), then the orange would be best, again knowing that the cross took (F1 would be red or pink, depending on orange skin color).
