I'd go 8 ohms.
BTW, I don't know why Katatonia would be considered good for tube amps. My CD just arrived, slapped it in, and slapped my forehead. Head banging, Nordic land of perpetual night noise.
Of course, everything is a matter of personal taste.
My experience is that female vocals, jazz, small ensemble, acoustic as opposed to digital music is where the liquid richness of tube reproduction shines for low power SET.
Higher power tube amps are great for large orchestrals ...
Others may differ.
