I haven't really looked into the differences between diode, fast-recovery (HEXFRED) and tubes, so I defer to the judgement of guys that have played with 'em. I see it really as a matter of switching time, hysterisis and resistance. But even putting that aside, I think it's cool to have a tube rectifier for a tube amp. Solid state diodes are cheaper and easier, so if a guy substituted one, I could sure see why he might. But my vote is to use a tube rectifier.
