1616 or 3B28 HV rectifiers?

As the title says - I narrowed my quest for the HV (950-1200VDC) tube rectifiers for an ongoing project using GM70/813/GU71 SE outputs.
The tubes are electrically similar ,the 1616 sports an graphite anode and the 3B28 is xenon-filled.
What would you choose and why? Soundwise,tubes' lifespan?
Cheers!
