Upside down: tomatoes & what companion plants?+Pests

I've gotten 4 upsidedown planters (NOT Topsy Turvy) from Gardener's Supply and I was wondering if there was anything that could be planted with the tomato that would survive upside down and act like a marigold (pest deterrant) or enhance flavor/growth- (will basil grow upside down?).

Also, I'm hoping upside down means I avoid the fungus that devastated the tomato crop in NY State around my area last year. Advice was to either not plant this year or plant in another area. (I'm planting upside on my pergola-400 feet away from the kitchen garden & last year's fungus).

But does upside down mean I have another pest to worry about?
