Amp tube recommendations

I need to replace all of the tubes in my amp (Fender Twin II). It's probably been about 15 years since I last replaced them and my knowledge of the current tube market is quite deficient. I don't really want to spill for GTs and would like to find some good bang-for-the-buck options (I have 11 tubes to replace).
Looking for rec's for 6L6s, 12AT7s, and 12AX7 options that can replace 7025s.

Maybe Sovtek? I don't know. Gonna be pricey regardless, I think.

If you can somehow find some old Russian military tubes, that's your best bet.
My Twin never sounded as good as when I had a few of those in there...

I use eurotubes.com for all my tubing needs except for Mesa's since they are self-biased.

I don't much like Sovtek tubes. TAD are very good but tend to have thicker envelopes and I've had some clearance issues with them fitting through holes and such. Look at Antique Electronic Supply to find TAD tubes. JJ's are pretty good. The new production Tung Sol tubes are good too.

This is true. I'm not familiar w/ the inside of the Twin but assuming it has them I might start by replacing just the pre-amp tubes and see what that gets you first assuming you're still getting sound out of it.
