TIP31C/TIP32C should work fine, BD911/BD912 as well, but these can be harder to find. Don't forget that you can get small samples of MJE parts directly from ON Semiconductor through their sample program.
you are a goldmine.
That's a good way try real parts, how many different types does ON SEMI allow at one shipping? I see you can order 5 to 25 of 1 type and pay shiipping.
