xecluded,
There are many NOS AT7's to choose from, but if the Telefunken "sound" is your cup of tea, the Seimens E81CC's are 2nd to the Telefunkens IMO(which are hard to come by). They are very linear like the Tele's. Many NOS are rolled off at both frequency extremes and often the bass isn't as defined as the Tele's or Seimens. Valvos are my 3rd choice. Tubes with that more lush midrange, like the Mullards, would be Brimars. I like the Brimars midrange a lot, you just have to give up too much in the lowend for me. If you want to, PM "mark funk", my brother, he has tried so many, he can give you characteristics of the sound of most, through his AVA gear.
