Bridge Rectifier for the heater 300b tube amp


Hi Looking to upgrade 4 bridge rectifiers on the heater for the 300b amp.   Should i custom 4 diodes to make a bridge.  If so any recommendation on which diode i should use?   Any members can advise on this.   Thanks!

George... would it be better to custom your own bridge rectifier using 4 diodes?   Besides the fact that a bridge is more convenient and easy to install ( less of a hassle) a custom bridge will give you more reliability and better performance?  

If i custom my own bridge for the heater, do you recommend fred, hexfred or Schottky?  Will be for the 300b heater, the unit came with 4 bridges Rs802 (8amp 100v).   Please advise??
