I have only used Sophia DHT's, I haven't really tried their output tubes.
For 6L6 types, I have found that the basic Shuguang tubes are very short lived (just a couple of months), while the Sovtek EL-34 would operate for well over a year of constant use performing the same duty.
The Electro Harmonix or Sovtek EL34 is probably the place to start. In my opinion, a lot of these tube differences begin to matter much less when the tubes in question are used in an amplifier with a lot of global feedback, which will tend to work to neutralize many of the differences that you might otherwise hear.
