I've tested different brands and have found the store label brands are not bad, (okay for sauces when I add lots of my own seasoning) but my experience has been that Del Monte is good for pasta sauces (with even little seasoning) and Muir Glen best overall for soups, sauces and even straight out of the can. Not always easy for me to find, but Muir Glen wins first, Del Monte a second and most store brands a qualified third. I WILL be trying this recipe. Interesting with the chick peas and allspice. “Yes,” on the roma tomatoes and “Yes,” with the canned right now.

Even Romas or stem tomatoes won't have the same flavor as good canned San Marzanos will give you. Don't know if you can find La Bella in your neck of the woods, but those are my favorite - they're fat and meaty and really tasty. This time of year, I’d definitely go with canned.
