Here you will find a set of speeds that have proved useful in the past.
It's by no means a conclusive list or should be taken as gospel but will simply provide a good starting point.
Best wishes

To get a figure for lower power tubes try the following.
For 40 watt Divide Speed by 4 and multiply by 3 (using the same power setting)
For 60 Watt do the same and take a Speed figure midway between 40 and 80 watt (Using the same power setting)
