Okay, I was trying to be funny but the response maybe juvenile. 
I see this is your first post so welcome.
I would go for the Hartke 410XL over the Ampeg B410HE in a heartbeat. (Because I own one.) Killer cab, the only downside is that it is heavy. Also I don't need tweeters.
The Trace Elliot GP7 is a great amp you have.
Maybe you should explain more what you are going for. What power/volume you need, the venues you play, the sound you like... this might give you better responses from the people here, or give you alternatives and encourage you.

Thank you, I ve just registered so you right, this is my first post.
I have that options becouse their price is the same about 300eur. I play gigs in clubs so the reason that I m completing the bass amp is that I need a monitor when I m playing... So I need help which cabinet to buy... sorry about my English, I m from Bosnia...

As I said, I have that Hartke cab and I highly recommend it. It sounds great and is built to last.
Downside is that it's heavy.
I have no experience with that Ampeg cab. But judging on the specs... it's lighter as the Harkte.
SPL rating says it's about as loud.
The Ampeg has a tweeter, so it has a more high-end tone. Though you can just turn the tweeter off.
Compared to the Hartke, the Ampeg would go as low and deep.
The Hartke 410XL performs like a beast in the low end and low mids. And... it doesn't even sound dark. It has alumium drivers which give a clear tone.
(Although to me aluminium drivers are not a selling point anymore, there are so much better things on the market these days but more expensive.)
Also, just as a monitor you might get away with a smaller cab. A decent 15" maybe? or 2x10"?
Good luck with whatever cab you end up with.
And don't worry about your english, it's not my first language either.
