I received samples of the 2N5771 and have tested them. They are perfect replacements for the 2N3639 . Actually the 2N5771 has the better performance. I have also tested the PN4258 which too is a very good replacement for the 2N3639.
Wow, glad you found something that works! I still am mystified why the MPSH81 was not suitable. You reported a 400 ns turn-on, which seems insane. I have more experience with the MPSH10, the NPN cousin of the MPSH81, and have used it in 1 ns risetime circuits.
