Seriously mate. Basil leaves are really only any use when they are thrown in right at the end of anything. They're not up to a good simmer. they just die.
Lets say you bought whole peeled tomatoes in a can. You open the can, pull out the tomatoes one by one and tear them open and wipe all the seeds out with you fingers into the sink. Goes faster than you might think. Or buy crushed tomatoes, those are usually deseeded for you. If you're using fresh tomatoes, you slice an X into the bottom of each one and blanch them. The skins come right off and then they are the same as the ones in the can.

Now, they will blister and you can peel them really easily with a paring knife.
Now, it get personal. There are two major preferences that I know of.
1. Cut the tomoato in 6 and fillet out the seeds and meat and use it for soup. It is the traditional way to retrieve tomatoe for concasse, a wonderful product, but very wasteful.
2. Quarter the tomatoes, wash out the seeds under running water. i hate the loss of water with that, ut, you do have more flesh.
