As a guitar player myself, you are basically asking should I use coated or uncoated strings…or a Marshall vs.Fender. Lots of opinions and reasons for either one. You will also get lots of opinions on this question. However, I will jump in and say a lot of folks go with tubes for the pre-amp, SS for the amp. You get most of the tube sound with more power and much less heat, and normally less cost.
For me, I went with an integrated SS class A amp to avoid the minor hassle of tubes, but I get very close to the tube sound.
For my guitar I use a fender tube, tried the digital versions and never warmed up to the sound.
Hope this help a bit.
