What brand matched pair of EL84 tubes would you recommend for a 15 watt 1x12 combo if the goal is maximum clean headroom?
Groove tubes used to sell sets rated from 1 to 10 with 10 being the "hardest". I wanted a set of 10s, but I checked recently and post-Fender acquisition they seem to be available in 4-7 ratings with no opportunity to designate what you're going to get if you order.
The pair of Genelex Gold Lions I paid way too much for break up sooner than the set of TAD 3s they replaced. They sound nice, but very little headroom.

The amp is a Carl Martin Roadie.
