There are probably as many loadlines
preferences as people making them.
I always try to balance between 0 grid voltage
and the non-linear part of the tube curves.
Start at the operating point, from the O grid voltage point
to double bias voltage point, try to get the range linear.
This will balance when going in to A2 with the non-linear
section of the conduction (over 2X the bias point).
A2 is when the bias goes positive which increases distortion
unless you have a high current low impedance drive tube.
You can get more power out of the tube going another route
but I like having as low a distortion as I can get
for as much as I can get.
My Philisophy Anyway.
BTW I am only driving speakers above 200Hz.
If you want use them full range then
increase the cathode bypass capacitor.
