I've tested exactly those types. They are all too slow.
For example, when you cascade the three independent stages
on an R211 module, feed the first stage with a clock of
around 1 MHz, and just replace one of the 2N3639 with a
2N3906, the turn-off slope after the last stage will be
delayed from around 30ns to 200ns!
But we will test the trick with the Baker clamp on the
2N3906.
I think you should try the MPSH81. Depending on the bias
and base drive, you may also need the Baker clamp. (Use a
really fast, low capacitance diode for that.)
The 2N3906 is an audio transistor, and not fast or low
capacitance.
