Which 211 tubes for my Wyetech Topaz

Guys just picked up a 211a topaz and was wondering which tubes to get- I read on Arthur Salvatores sight that he liked the GE NOS 211 from the '40's- Just want different opinions and also what upgrades(caps etc) I should do- thanks

Which NOS or OS can you get? Which current production is currently available?

I have tried vintage RCA's and GE's. The RCA's are certainly better than the GE's but at $1600 a matched pair was too much for me. It is common to find really good GE's for $400-500. GE's are a time proven and very good tube.
