If I were ordering a VTA today, I'd opt for the octal, 6SN7 version (link below), for that tube's lower distortion characteristics. That version wasn't available back when I bought my board, and they were only offering the 12AT7 or 12AU7, which is the same board, with some resistor value changes.
Although, in this AudioKarma thread (link) on the octal version, one poster said he spoke with Bob [Latino], who said "it was no better than the low gain [presumably meaning 12AU7] board".
