Hi
Just happen I have the same TT, a Rega P-9 with the RB-1000. I had the ACE H and replaced it with the H2 woodbody. I was a nice change. More details compared with the ACE.
I use a tube phonostage (Space Tech Lab P-105) and the tubes I have on the machine are a pair of Telefunken 12ax7 and a pair of Sylvania 6SN7-W.
You won't regret the H2. I felt the ACE is more forgiving on bad recording compared to the H2.
