These is always a matter of tastes. You should consider using an ocxo instead of a rubidium clock, you would get lower jitter.
Rubidium clock has lower phase noise which cause jitter and better frequency stability. The advantage of OCXO is having way faster setting time while Rubidium needs 3 days to settle down. If you leave Rubidium permanently on, that'll way better since high precision applications use Rubidium and Cesium for good reason.
But as you say, some people also prefer OCXO over Rubidium, along with artifacts and less precision details that can sound more soothing to their ears in their systems. That is fine and all, not everyone can afford $100-300k systems to make proper use of Rubidium clock better.
