Uh, I think replacing power tubes every 6 months is a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't had that experience.
But anything is possible.
No experience with the amplifiers you mention but the Hafler, if in good working condition and no issues would be my choice.
I grew up during a time when there were no SS audio gear. Sure I've had my share of SS amps but I prefer the sound of a SET amp.
