That's easy, the 37-116X, the brand Z sets tend to be over priced for what they are. I wouldn't call a 15 tube brand Z a bad performer though, if you can get one for a reasonable price I would not turn one down, but since they are normally twice what a 37-116X costs, and the 116s are better all around performers, then a 116 series set is a better deal.
Regards
Arran
