I'm trying to decide what tubes to use for a really clean pop style

    You are going to have to give a whole lot more info for a tube suggestion. Best advice is to pick a few and roll them in. I have no idea what "you" mean by really clean pop style.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.
