Which EL34 is your favorite and why?

I know that this question is asked, but for several years ago, so...

I’m gonna buy a Line Magnetic LM34IA and I’m gonna replace the EL34 stock tubes.
I will also replace the two ECC82 and the ECC83. Any tips for them?

The tube is a drop in replacement for EL34's in most but not all amps so double check with LM.
