Transformer choice for Stang ray

[chopstuck]

I finally had a chance to try some DR Z amps after building a few 18 watters. Compared to 18 watt lite, I just don't know what people see in the gh*a. The tone control sweep is nice but the tone reminds me of an old blackface Deluxe without reverb. The m** jr NR was a good sounding amp. I may try building one but the surprise was the StanKray. I guess it's just a AC30/4 with a CG tone control, but the icing on the cake was the Celestion alnico gold. That 1x12 combo was out of this world clean and shimmery without the icepick highs of the Twin reverbs with JBL's. But $2100 ? I could almost do it if the world wasn't falling apart this week.

If I'm starting from scratch and I have to get a set of transformers what set would work well ? I know the TDS were designed to emulate the AC30 but they are the most expensive at $310/set

GDS
TDS
Toneslut ?
