What tubes are in you Rogue RP-5?

Just picked up RP-5. Not a fan of stock JJs. 
Put in A pair of Brimar CV4003 and a pair of GE Military Stock, both from upscale. Love the Brimars (were my favorite in the RP-1) but unsure about GE tubes yet (weren’t a good match in RP-1 either). 
What tubes are you using in your RP-5 or RP-7?
What tube placement on the board is most critical?

i had an RP7 and tried a whole drawers worth of different 12AU7s that i had on hand from my old cronus magnum and RH5 preamp.  
it simply did not sound any better and often worse than the stock JJ.  
this included brimar, amperex, mazda, philips, sylvania, multiple RCA, mullard, GE and other new production including tung sol, sovtek, genalex.  
RP7 is not the RP5 but i shared my experience nonetheless.  try a few and if no luck give up.
