Which of these cabs should I choose for SWR 350?

I have a pending deal for a chrome-faced SWR 350 with one or two SWR Goliath Jr. II cabinets. From what I have researched, the SWR cabinets are 4ohms.

I have an 8ohm Ampeg SVT 15EN.

Amp Specs:
450 Watts @ 2 ohms
350 Watts @ 4 ohms
240 Watts @ 8 ohms

What cabinet combination would you recommend?

Should I buy the SWR cabinets and trade for 8ohm cabinets?

An SWR 350 is stable driving a 2 ohm load, so you could power both of those G-jr cabinets simultaneously and get the most power out of the amp.

I had some issues driving 2 4-ohm Acme B2 speakers with the SWR 350. I don't know for sure if the speakers dipped below 2 ohms sometimes or the amp wasn't really happy driving 2 ohms. I used the 350 with an Eden 410T and it sounded great.
