For your speakers and room I'd recommend a push-pull design unless you know in advance that you like to listen to VERY easygoing music at VERY moderate levels.A PP amp will tend to produce 4-5 times the power of a SET. Two 300Bs should get you 25-40 watts.
If cost is a factor consider designing your own amp or using cheaper parts. For the output tubes, especially, there are cheaper alternatives to an $800 pair of WE 300Bs. For example, you could use a pair of VV32B ($200 a pair at Welbornelabs), which when biased up will deliver probably 70 watts. Pair that with some Plitron toroidial OPTs. And so forth.
