Yes, all 5.

For me Early Girl has had little flavor.  I grew both the Boys but it's 
been so many years that I have no particular memory of them.

Don't know Beef Steak.

But Big Beef is terrific!  It's a more recent hybrid than the others you 
mention, and I recommend it  highly.    Quite resistant to early blight, 
which is a big problem here in the mid-Atlantic.
