45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes?

The "300B lovers" thread includes some passing discussions about 45 tubes that I found informative. Being relatively late to the "45 game" I only have a couple of pairs of ST 45s for use in my Alan Eaton monoblocks. 

Glow in the Dark audio has some wonderfully written and informative info about the 45 tube, but I thought I'd invite other 45 lovers to share their thoughts here about what tubes they are using, enjoying, preferring and saving. 

Thanks, in advance, for any information you can share.

I have had a loaned pair of the Sophia “mesh plate “ in my SET mono blocks. I also have had the EML 300b mesh tube. Different construction between them. The Sophia is actually a perforated metal plate. The EML is a genuine mesh filament. I hope that you are able to experience the EML mesh and see what you think. Warning, the amplifier has to be 25 watts dissipation or less for the delicate mesh filament.
