I think that Rodman's assessment of the various tube's sound is pretty much right on.
However, I have found that it really depends on the circuit that the tube is used in and how it's used. I'm a Mullard man, (love that midrange), but in some devices they suck.
Only way to know for sure, is to just try a few different ones. Sorry, this can get quite expensive, but really is the only way.
