Rumble 500 combo extension cabinet 210 or 115? Which would you go with?

Both. There are good reasons for each. Buy both. Then make your decision. If you choose one over the other without living with it, you will always question your choice. Abate poor choices by choosing both. Forget logical reasoning. Let your ears/subjectivity decide. Not science. Objectivity never made a single piece of art. Be an artist. Not a scientist.
Try both, as Linnin said. But many folks here love the 115 cab with the 500 combo.
will they come out with a the studio/stage in a head or computer pedal pre or rack of either?
are those amps limited to combos with the either 40watt/110, and their 800 watt(with extension load)/210?

210 + 210. No argument against this configuration. In the Rumble line you get the exact same drivers in the exact same diagonal array. Stack one on top of the other and you get the much vaunted cabinet coupling effect. All good. Nothing bad.
Why even think about a 115? Why? Because you like it! You don't need any other reason. But if you need some; 15" woofers give you broader dispersion of air moved and attendant sound waves. The bigger the woofer the smoother the midrange. 15s are magic in the smooth well dispersed mids department. If you've not seriously listened to some superb 15" woofers lately, I strongly suggest you do so. Inexpensive as they may be, the custom designed Eminence 15" drivers are nothing short of spectacular. This why I would rather have a Rumble 500 head + a pair of Rumble 115 cabinets as opposed to any 210+210 arrangement. Maximum SPL and amount of air moved will be almost identical. Tone will not. 15s for me please.

Go to the Fender Rumble Club Wiki page and search for "head".
Yes, those are the only currently known configurations.

Oh! Heh, heh. But, is there a way to turn auto-correct off our devices or browsers?
And/Or a way to edit our posts?

You usually need to turn it off at the system level. For Android, head to Settings>Language & Input>Text Correction, IIRC. For iOS, it’s System Preferences>Keyboard>Text.

Not now. If they are wildly successful, perhaps. So buy as many as your credit will allow.
I hear you.....sort of.
I'm working on variations of "huh?"Well too much rock and roll is a good thing until you turn 50 and realize how much you really can't hear, just don't tell my wife, I still nod approvingly to what she says
