Help with a Passive Preamp

Looking for a Passive preamp and have narrowed it down to 3 - 4 candidates. The Truth with remote, Tortuga Audio LDR300x.V3 Passive, Luminous 

Axiom II Passive Preamp Walker Mod with Remote or maybe the JOB Pre-2? It will be down stream from a Mytek Brooklyn and a Linn LP-12 with a Ruby 3h with a Sutherland 20/20. Downstream is a Pass Xa-25. The Tortuga has the advantage of being able to ad a gain module if necessary. 

I have heard the Truth in my system and it was very good. Your thoughts?

Thanks for your comments!
Given the fact that I had the chance to listen to "The Truth" preamp for several hours in my system, kinda of gave it the upper hand. However, all the units that I mentioned seemed to have good reviews.
I guess my final concern is; does my Sutherland 20/20 have enough gain? I'm not a loud listener.

The Sutherland's highest gain setting is 64db..the Benz Ruby 3h is .7mv.
