Tubes suggestion for F-100 2x12 combo?

[stchris]

Just got an f-100 2x12 combo, it's pretty rippin' amp. One of the power tubes went and since I have no idea when the tubes were changed last from the previous owner, I'm going to replace all four 6L6's.

Should I stick with Mesa 6L6's ...Tung Sol...Winged "C" (SED) 6L6GC...???

An old band member had one of those with stock Mesa power tubes and it sounded great.

I would only consider putting a preamp tube that runs a little cleaner in the V1 position like the reissue Tung Sol which is less than a new Mesa SPAX7 and sounds better to me. My Mesa SPAX7 tubes sound pretty much the same as any of the Mesa 12AX7 tubes I have.

Thanks so much for your help on this, on my way to Guitar Center to get the Mesa tubes.
