The best one is the one that sounds the best in your amp (your circuit) and your system, to you. There is no best tube, in general, considering these criterium, as each tube will perform differently under these different conditions and also according to your own personal taste. Some people dislike Sylvanias, some 5692's in general and some RCA's (including the red line and base models). The only "Hall of Famer" that I am aware of is the Ken-Rad Vt-231/6SN7GT, but as to whether you would like the sound of it in your system, I don't know. Try running a search on 6SN7, 5692 and VT-231 at the Audioasylum.com tube forum and you will see what I mean. It will be fun reading nonetheless.
