What pre-amp would you choose

Hi
I am looking for some input for a new/used tube per-amp. I have the audio research vt 130 , Ah tjobe 4000 , magnepan 3.6R and transparent super cable. I am looking for the best tube pre-amp to match with my system. What would you choose?

Should be able to snag a BAT VK5i for about $2K. Or a 3i w/remote and phono for about $1.25K.

The Sonic Frontiers Line 1 is a superb piece, and a steal for around 1200 used.

ARC LS-15 or ARC LS-2BR MkII. Both have remote, the MkII might be tough to find. These should list used for around $1400.

I would add to the Rogue and Sonic Frontiers suggestions the VTL 2.5. Livelier than ARC.
