Here's the best advice I can give you:
1. Don't worry about what anybody else thinks.*
2. Build a breadboard of the preamp circuit. That's easy enough since there's only a few parts.
3. Try out the transformers in different combinations and draw your own conclusions.
(* Everyone's got an opinion. They'll tell you that the UTC tastes like chocolate and the Edcor is peanut butter, and if you put 'em together you'll get Reese's, but that doesn't account for the contribution of the preamp circuit, how certain attributes combine, reinforce and cancel, etc. ).
