Ok This is just opinion and has worked out well for me.
I have a Sansamp RBI going into a CS-800 and then a 8x10.
I play in Medium Venues 200-500 people.
First of all I HATE being DI....Until Now
I took My Sansamp Effected XLR out and plugged into a 1x15 powered main while plugged into my CS-800
I went in between turning The PA cab up and Then The 8x10 then Both until I was Happy with The Tone coming from both..
I watched a Tape of a guy that had a Hi End Mic on his Camera taping me and My Tone was The best it had been EVER.
I had numerous Compliments on the sound of the band ETC..
I would Rather be MICed but if I have to be DI then at least I have a fighting Chance..
