"Is there any other group of pre amp tubes that are on par or better than the 12AX7/5751s?"
Yes, but it all depends on a)implementation and b)personal opinion.
"Is it fair to say that, in general, the 12AX7/5751s "family" produces the best sounding tubes?
In my opinion no. See my answer above for why I say that.
"I know it depends on the equipment and the specific tube but if I switch pre amps I want to make sure that I have decent tubes to select from."
You are asking a question that does not have an answer other than personal opinion. So you will get a wide variety of replies to your question - none of which are authoritative, they are all opinions. There is no "best" tube, best family of tubes, best shape of tubes, and so on. Once you get to a certain level it simply becomes a matter of personal preference.
I'd be more interested in availability of good quality examples over anything else. It doesn't matter how great a tube is if you can't get any!!
