RE: Bias source from B+ or seperate trans, which is better?

A separate bias transformer, and a FULL WAVE bridge, is always superior to a tap off a HV winding and a typical half wave, quasi rectified bias voltage !!

Your VA rating will be fine, backwards, forwards or side ways. Separate bias supplies are the best way to do fixed bias. Maybe you can fit a ( small ) choke input filter after the Full Wave Bridge. !!!

Always remember, the bias supply is on the MUSIC GRID of the tube, and it needs to be squeeky clean in execution !!!
