My LHBS doesnt have the Safale-04 that my Cascade Orange Pale ale requires.

What do you guys think would be a good substitute?

While I was there, I picked up a Safale-05, WL005-British Ale, and some Nottingham just in case, but let me know if you think any of these would be good, or what else might be good. Thanks.

OH, and I also have some WL008 - east coast ale.... havent used it yet..
 
The 005 would probably be the closest, although it may not attenuate quite as fully, and it gives off some more esters, I actually like the strain quite a bit. It is said that WLP007 is actually the same strain as s-04, on a related note, if you wanted a direct replacement with white labs if you were unable to get s-04
