All that follows is of course IMHO.
I really like the Sylvania Ws and the earliest GTs which look a lot like a W with its extensive gettering. Note also some of those Ws with the A designation on top of the dome . I had read that the A tubes were early.
I own a 4 pairs of TS round plates, 2 pairs sound great, but 2 don't, despite testing quite well. Granted I paid a lot for one NOS NIB pair, the rest more were bought more than a decade ago, at what are now very low prices.
Still I find the Ws possess a super, clean, top end and truly beautiful midrange, combining to result an overall imaging ability like no other. The areas where the TS are clearly superior are dynamics or slam, and bigger better bass.
I have so many nice 6SN7s, I am sorry my current headphone amp doesn't benefit as much from using them. Fortunately other pieces I own are exquisitely sensitive.
