If you're all analog a good headamp after the phono stage would be indicated. Which one is best depends on the cans. Concur with others that head-fi.org is a great resource. I do a lot of headphone listening but almost none of it is analog source at this point, so I'm not your best advisor. Your gear is good so I'm guessing you're not shooting for second best.
I'd say try out a bunch of 'phones and see what you like. There is at least as much variability with this stuff as there is with any other combination of amps and transducers, there are good and bad matches always dependent on preferences.
Comfort is a big factor with cans. They are speakers you wear, what sounds good may not be what feels good after an hour or two. Lots of variables, in other words.
I came to my setup after playing around with a lot of variables. I don't say that what I'm using is right for you, in fact it probably isn't.
So I can't absolutely tell you what's best. If anything, all I can suggest is what to think about. Good luck. It's guaranteed to be an interesting trip.
