IMO, the MV-55 is already a classic. It does so many things right, striking such a nice balance between often-conflicting goals to portray tone, rhythm, harmonics, speed, etc. What emerges is music -- no other way to describe it. It is much more neutral than the PV-10a, although definately not clinical. Yes, it does have tubes that need to be replaced. Well worth it, to my ears. Regarding the triode vs. pentode question, I'd bet your system could handle the lower output of triode, so you might try it. My concern with this is that some folks say rhythmic drive is sacrified for even greater harmonic richness, so for the time being I've stayed with pentode. Good luck!
