I built a trellis using T posts, electrical conduit, and PVC pipe and it has worked extremely well.

It's basically this. Takes some work and some money but it was well worth it to me. I will have this for years and it performs much better than cages.
And yes, indeterminate tomatoes require pruning but it's well worth the trade-off to me to have tomatoes ripening all the time instead of all at once.
