The early CBS Hytron 5814 are very good for a 12AU7 family tube. The 5814 was a development by RCA when Collins (now Rockwell Collins) requested a lower distortion 12AU7 be manufactured for their military receivers.

I like Brimar 13D5 even better, but that may be circuit dependent. E80CC rates higher than either above per my tests, but has slightly different parameters including 150ma increased heater current.
