I think SMDs would lead to a smaller package, and then you could epoxy dip it for an authentic look. And better reliability.
My only question is, can they take any voltage spikes on them? This might be an issue. (Don't forget startup, before the tubes are conducting...)
What are you using for the PCB design, btw?
If there was enough demand, you could get them made by a PCB place and stuffed and all. With the plethora of places overseas, this is surprisingly cheap now...
