Right now i have (made a stupid decision) behringer practice amp. That sucks. I AM going to get a new amp this summer but i can't decide what kind/brand/and set up. Now, i have a TIGHT budget <=$500 (USD). Which would be better a combo amp or a cab and head? What brand and models?

Combo vs. Cab and Head?

combo if buying new, although i've seen people put together pretty sweet head/cab deals on the used market for less than $500.
i used to be into combos because i was lazy and didnt feel like setting up. but after getting a rig, i realized that a head and cab is so much better. you can mix and match heads and cabs, get a new head or cab whenever you are ready, and rigs tend to push more air due to the speakers and wattage. if your running a full stack, you then have the option of only lugging 1 cab to smaller gigs.
