HELP ... What NEW tubes would you select for a Manley Stingray?

I'm torn..

1. Tung-Sol 7189 (question here is if 7189 is safe in Manley Stingray built for EL84; I think it will) about $54

2. Telefunken Black Diamond EL84 about $50

3. Sovtek EL84M about $38

4. Tung-Sol EL84 about $35

or your favorite?

Thanks in advance for your experience and opinions...
