It depends what you want to accomplish by "topping." Tomato plants usually don't require this to get multiple stalks.

You can top, fim, or scrog a tomato if you want, but like said above youll be staking and pretty much training.

What topping does is stop it from growing taller, so if you have space issues id go ahead and top it. And if you do chop off alot itll grow more/larger fruit as it stores the sugars in the roots it made, and now having less to feed itll have more sugars lying around. Tho with hydro im starting to wonder. I was told to chop off alot of my pepper flowers to get more peppers but didnt and EVERY flower made a full size pepper.

I toped a friends tomato plant and I cloned it on Monday. I have never cloned anything else before, but I figure its Friday now and the clone is looking good.

I think it would be ok for indeterminate plants to be topped off or cloned but for determinate bush-type type tomato plants like roma , I wouldn't bother. You could lose considerable yield topping or pruning those type of plants.
