Don't let people confuse you. It's ohms law. You just can't get high current pulses through any appreciable amount of resistance with ordinary plate voltages.. Period.
Low-DCR throughout a B+ system is a design REQUIREMENT-- it's not subject to opinion-- it is subject to supplying a definite need.
There is no contest. Amplifiers built with high resistance chokes and power transformers sound lifeless compared to the alternative.
This can be a matter of taste. If you want clean, smooth easy listening with no excitement-- no big dynamics, then you can have a really clean, good behaving high-DCR power supply and like it.
I suspect, however, that once you hear really clean, powerful dynamics across the whole audio bandwidth being done right-- just like it was recorded, you won't be looking back. You'll be smiling-- a lot.
You're always going to get arguments against this. It just never stops, and it often takes the form of very good illustrations and proofs to prove its various points-- and then sometimes, it is just observation.
YOU have to decide what you want. If you want to have tube equipment out-perform the best solid-state at what solid state does best, and then have also what tubes do best-- in one amplifier-- well, that has been done. It is LSES and it is low-DCR.
