I have not had the 10m's but when I had my Calypso I rolled many tubes thru it. It responds well to tube rolling and you are able to customize the sound to a great degree.
I preferred 5751's over 12ax7's. Slightly lower output but with the dip switches set to high, it really wasn't noticeable.
The two tubes you mentioned are quite different. BB is a cleaner, faster tube while a Mullard is a warmer more romantic tube with a softer top end.
My preferred combo was Raytheon Windmill getter 5751's and Mullard 2492's.
There are many good choices and like anything in this hobby, they are system dependent.
My suggestion to you is to buy several pairs and have fun. You can always resell the ones that don't make the grade.
