Tomato varieties for greenhouses?

I have been reading about all the fascinating-sounding tomato
varieties, and wishing I could taste them all!  One of the more
disappointing things in  life is growing tomatoes which
taste like cardboard.  We just moved to a 3000' elevation in the
Sierra Nevada foothills, and I wasnt sure I could grow any tomatoes.
But we do have a glassed in room and I tried some of those last year.
While a couple of plants lasted the winter, they didn't grow much or
do anything until the containers were put outside this summer.
I have several plants of the "Shirley" variety, which I picked up as
seed in England.  They were supposed to be good for greenhouses.  Has
anyone ever heard of them?  Any suggestions of other varieties I
should try, if I can grow them outside for only a few months?

I also have put plants of Brandywine, etc. outside, and they are
doing well, but no fruit as yet.  Has anyone had experience with
greenhouse varieties, or putting plants outside only during the
warmest part of the season?  I hope I dont finally get tomatoes this
year, and find out that they taste like nothing at all.  I love the
good old Beefsteak flavor, but know I probably can't  grow those.
