Stone IPA Clone yeast?

[Phunhog]

Hi Guys,
I am getting ready to brew a Stone IPA clone and wonder which yeast to use. Being the thrifty (cheap!) homebrewer I want to use some washed yeast I already have. My choices are Cal Ale or Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale. The Cal Ale attenuates much better, but the 1332 is closer to the recommended British yeast. Any input? Thanks. Al

Word on the street is that Stone's yeast started out at WLP007, but has changed so much over time that it is it's own strain, one that is cleaner and attenuates more. I've heard mixed results, but I'd probably either use WLP007 and ferment pretty low, or use WLP001.

WLP002 according to this.
