Out of the Celestion alnicos I really like that Cream speaker from the demos I've heard but haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.
The G12H-30 is a fav of mine, sounds great in a Deluxe Reverb. The G12-65 is a great all around rock speaker and the one Tom Bukovac uses in his 2x12" for sessions.
The V30 gets a lot of use on sessions but I'm not crazy about it live. I noticed that Tim Pierce uses a V30 for sessions a lot too. His video showing off 10 guitar amps shows his iso booth in his garage for the cabs. You can see a bunch of different speakers in each.
Speakers and pickups make such a big difference.
For rock/distorted sounds, I also seem to gravitate around G12H. It's a got a certain EQ curve that I seem to be happy with most of the time and work in contexts where others don't.
The guys at Zilla cabs have a bunch of good YT vids comparing speakers. Now I want a Cream Alnico even more. Wish they weren’t 3x as much as everything else.
I love my cabinet of V30s along with 2 LynchBacks. The LynchBack is an incredible compliment to the Vintage 30.
