How about Maglia Rosa. This variety grows well in a 3-gallon size container, gets 3' tall, is fairly early, and produces delicious 2" bullet-shaped tomatoes that are a beautiful pearly pink. Leaves can be a bit floppy, but it's easy to grow, delicious, and one of my favourites. Check it out at growartisan.com

Artisan Seeds also has another compact variety called "Taste" which the size of a chicken egg. They are pink and yellow and I think they taste similar to Maglia Rosa. I grew this variety last year in a 3-gallon container.

@Labradors thanks, i looked them both up but neither mention being crack resistant....this is the most important attribute for me

They don't crack for me.

BTW, if rain is in the forecast, it helps to pick tomatoes of any variety that have blushed before the rain.
