rigel,Be prepared to sell/swap/put to storage some of your reels.
Amongst others I have a number of original Revox reels which I'm told used AGFA tape branded as their own. BASF/Scotch/EMI tape do not sound as well on my deck.
Zonal 675/456 seems to be a reasonable tape type to bias to - and on my deck Revox/AGFA tape sounds acceptable rathern than optimum. The only sure way is to listen to each tape brand on your newly set-up deck. Whilst persuing good sound, you may also consider comparing your 4 track to a 2 track B77 mkII.
Enjoy
