Well I think you get the point.IMHO, the driver tube along with operating levels of all tubes, are perhaps more important to the qualities of the resulting sonic product than simply the OP tube. Especially when considering the signal emminates from that tube in the first place.
You have aptly indicated this along with the fact that the driver/OP combination can be tweeked to optimise the qualities of both.
Because of that, I usually wonder what driver tube was in the amp that someone comments about...having formed an opinion based on the last tube rather than the first. I always wonder what speaker was used.
An 801 driving a 45 or 2A3 makes a very nice amp.....for your High Eff horns. A 45 driving an 845 makes a fabulous sounding amp for all the rest. Even better is a 3C24 or 35T driving an 845 or copper plate GM70. :)
AV8 and AV20 make pretty good driver tubes too....and that is based on my limited experience. But we have drifted off to DIY land now. :)
Later
