It's a fun place to start from. My first valve audio experience was with a friend who quickly breadboarded an amp with EL34 then 6L6 then EL84 just to show me how simple it was. The sound was far an away better than anything I'd previously heard. Now I have the bug but it never seems as simple as that first time.In the long run you'll want to use directly heated triodes for the inherent low distortion.
6B4G has an Octal base is like a 6a3 (6.3v filament version of 2a3), so if you build for triode el34 you could re pin the socket and change to 6B4G quite easily.
