I'd start with a set of Pacific transformers, I've heard a lot of good reports with these transformers.

I've heard an Express built with the Heyboer set which were good. The Classic Tone power transformer is good but quite large, I suspect it might yield a bit more voltage than intended. As I'm inclined to believe they are over specified, though this is just a hunch, no science involved.

I've never used or heard the Edcor stuff so I can't comment on them.

I've built a Rocket and Rockster with the Edcor units and they sound good and so far have worked great. Got a set for a Liverpool build right now.

RJ can tell you more about Edcors for an Express build.

Is they are big enough, rated 30W ?

They are Trainwreck standard 300mA rated, good enough for a 80 to 100w amp

Magnetic Components just started selling these HiFi OT's http://triodestore.com/40-18080.html

No problem using these transformers in my Express but rjguitars.net has good transformer sets to choose from as well as complete kits and he supports the TAG members very well with his products.
