I chose EL84s because they are in a couple of my MOST favorite amps, but really, it depends on application and style, so I think everyone should have at least an amp with each type (in a perfect world).
Oh, and 6V6s are a very common tube type that you missed.

Chose 34's, tho it was close to a toss up with 6L6's. But I have heard *fantastic* cleans from 34's, as well as the well known rock tones....I have heard fantastic cleans from 6's too, but not as good on the rock side (acknowledging however that there are some excellent 6L6 high gain amps).

I went with the EL34s. I would have said 6L6 a while back, but I love the tone I can get from my Traynoy YGL3 with EL34s. Although they're more typically used in a Marshall-ish application, the cleans I get from my Traynor are gorgeous!

Scott, are you sure you meant KT88? Not KT66, the old JTM45 tubes?

That ain't fair... I voted for 6L6's because this is a guitar forum..but....in the Leslie world an amp with 6l6's is a different animal than one with 6550's i.e. single speed vs two speed and a totally different sound.

The KT-66 is what was in the old JTM45's. A great tube for sure. I run them in mine. I can't pick just one as they are all so different and all have their place.
