Oh, you cannot beat a cross between Brandywine and Cherokee Purple for flavor!
I almost always grow Cherokee Purple, and/or other varieties that have those genetics in their mix.
In the past I’ve grown one called ‘Heirloom Marriage Genuwine’ which was really good. It’s a cross between Brandywine and Costoluto Genovese.

Quite the ‘looker’ and the flavor and production were great.
‘Heirloom Marriage Cherokee Carbon’ was terrific, too. A cross between Cherokee Purple and Carbon.

Really tasty, that one! :)
Agreed on most CP ‘relatives’, but I am also a fan of the Italians (sauce) and oxhearts (meaty salsa)...since wife is a type-1 and should avoid nacho chips, I eat most of the salsa. :-)
