Actually, Groove Tubes in association with their Chinese suppliers have come up with some really nice tubes. I feel they offer the best 6L6 right now. They are noted for supplying some very high gain 12AX7's and I have used them in some of my amps. I know that I prefer them over JJ's and Sovteks.
I'm glad you have had good luck with them, because it all boils down to what sounds good to "you."
I've been using NOS tubes for so long now, it's hard for me to use anything else. As you may have read here in this thread, a lot of current production 12AX7 tubes can't handle the plate voltage of say the phase inverter position. With NOS tubes, you can put them in any position of any amp and they will work. That's a big plus and they sound really good too.
