I would say a drip system but I'm not sure how you'd hook it up to your sprinklers . You'd definitely need to add a pressure regulator between it and the larger system as most drip systems are low flow.
I'd recommend watering at the bases of the plants anyway. That's a lot of tomatoes for a plot that size and you don't want to risk getting any kind of mold or fungus ( possible from sprinkling the foilage) that would spread pretty easily with your plants that close to each other.

I would prefer drip myself but running 66 lines is going to be a big project in itself. Also space is cramped so if the lines are not buried you would be tripping over them. Either way would work just depends on how much money and time you are ready to spend. A soaker hose will take about 1 hour and 20 dollars and a drip would be a whole day and cost 3X as much.
Either soaker or drip you can buy a timer for the water faucet for around 20-40 dollars on the cheap. If you want to tap into your sprinkler system that would be easy I would think , Home Depot has every type of connector.

Suspend the drip lines and you don't have to worry about tripping over them.
