I just saw someone selling an unused octet of these tubes (labeled ARC) for slightly under $200. A deal(!) if you can justify getting the octet. If you are interested in the Tele's you might do some research first. I haven't heard the other tubes you mentioned so I can't compare.

I don't think that the St Petersberg Svetlana ever made a 12AX7. If they did I missed it. :-)
