EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix?

Between these two cheaper brands which do you guys recommend. I'm looking for decent tubes to go into an amp I intend to sell - will keep the nicer tubes currently in it for myself. Also, if you know of other brands in the $40/quad range please let me know. Thanks!

I would go with Svetlanan el34 or try the new JJ KT77 . I am using the Cryo version of the Svetlana el34 and haven't yet tried the JJ kt77 but will soon....The Cryo Svetlana EL34 is awesome!

They usually get about 50 pair and they are gone the next day. I like the Svetlana very much, but the cryo version is a touch more refined and has a bit better depth and the highs are a touch sweeter will less edge,and the bass is exc....I did hear good things about the JJ KT77 but haven't yet tried it.
