I have had pretty good results from Brimar both 82 and CV versions.
Gold pin versions are good.
Trouble with valves it's suck it and see. Can be heavy on the wallet but now you;ve sold your WAD 300b..............................

I'm David.
I could lend you some Mullard ECC82s which have been tested on my AVO valve tester. How many do you need? PM me if interested.
I don't think all the reissues are lacking.
The Genulex Gold Lions and Tung Sol may be a good place to start.
Re issues have improved, at least some have.
