Fried red tomatoes are juicier, sweeter, and tastier (in my opinion) than fried green tomatoes.

Fried Red Tomato Sandwiches. The firmer the tomato the better because they need to hold up to the breading and frying processes to be edible (I should say effective). Green tomatoes are hard to find depending on the time of year and where you live; so this is a great substitute, but can hold its own as a 1st class fried tomato.
