If it's about tubes , i think "Groove Tubes" is the way to go. They are superior tubes and whatever sets you buy are matched with each other so they are the same in tolerances and such. if you're burning out tubes too quick though , you should get ahold of a good local tech and have them check the bias on the amp - if the bias isn't adjusted correctly it could be running the tubes so that they are too hot , which will burn them out faster.
