Preamp tubes? Power tubes? Depends entirely on which amp, how the amp is being used, and whose taste is involved in the selection process. If you're playing at "bedroom volume" then you're likely to get better results with preamp tubes. Gig volume, go for the power tubes.

My answer: optimize the entire set of amp tubes to my playing style/taste/volume. And don't forget the rectifier tube, if you've got one.
