The Sovtek 6SN7s are the highest distortion 6SN7s we have seen.
The EH and Tung Sol tubes are better, but both suffer grid contamination problems (so could die in a matter of weeks or years, no way to tell) and heater/cathode leakage problems. If you get some that don't have these issues they really sound pretty decent.
Otherwise I would go with the Chinese 6SN7 which is a copy of the early 1980s JAN Phillips tube. They have low leakage (usually) and hold up well.
