Best of the AMperex 6DJ8/6922 Tubes

I am asking what are the best of the Amperex 6DJ8/6922 tubes to install into a Counterpoint SA-5000 preamp. The preamp uses 4 6DJ8 and 1 12AX7 (I don't use the phono). I own Amperex 6DJ8 Bugle Boy Holland (one has a code GA3 017 40B, Amperex PQ 6922 Gold Pin Holland, Amperex 7316 PQ white label Holland (don't know what the 7316 equivalent is) and Amperex 7316 6DJ8 D-Getter that says on the box OG SB.

I have read about the Amperex Orange Globe being a very musical tube but don't own any.

Any help is appreciated.

I have one pair of Amperex 7308 Orange labels and one pair of Amperex 7308 white labels if anyone is interested. I purchased them from Brent Jesse new and I put approximately 50 hours on them in a Manley Chinook. I had to sell the Chinook for something unrelated to audio so I no longer need the Amperex.
I paid $80 for the Orange label pair and $400 for the white label pair.
Anyone?
PM me if interested.
