Adding the resistors lets you pick the best matched tubes if you have any extras. I used 10 Ohm, 1/2W. At 50 mA there's 1/4W of heat, and they usually are biased about 30-40 mA. A 5W part won't protect the output transformer... If you're gong to use modern tubes (only JJs will fit if you have a case...), you might want to reduce the grid resistors to 220K or 150K and increase the coupling caps by the same proportion. This may keep a tube with marginal leakage or grid emission from going "runaway".
