It depends on its resistance; my perception is that's the parameter that's more important there anyway, even though the schematic doesn't specify it.
Around 500 ohms with plenty of current handling is good to keep the screen grid dissipation reasonable http://www.bluebellaudio.com/Guitarchok ... DB194E.pdf
