Most chip-scale Rubidium oscillators sport relatively poor phase noise at the low end (because they typically have a crystal oscillator internally) despite ultra-high frequency stability.

OCXOs are the "in between TCXO for both price and phase noise" - really good, specifically-cut OCXOs beat Rubidium in phase noise.
