Which tubes to spend the most money on in a PV-5?


I have a CJ PV-5, but don't really understand the circuit. The tube layout is here:

If I am going to put expensive tubes in the most critical slots, which positions/tubes are the most critical to the sound?

Between Telefunken, Amperex, RCA, GE, Mullard, and Sylvannia, are there preferences to get the best sound for any particular position?

Thanks for your help....

All I know is that people have had the most pleasure investing in the 5751s, althougth I'm sure money in not wasted on a good 12AX7.
