    RCA tubes

    NOS? ANOS?

    if they're old US or UK made, matched well and not too expensive, yes

    beware. tubes are even worse a rabbit hole than pedals or pickups. don't ask me how I know

    I prefer vintage NOS tubes and use them whenever possible. RCA's are tops IMO -- I have a great set in the new 5E3. They sound like frying bacon smells......heavenly!
