Best deal out there right now and sound great.

I wholeheartedly second that!
I had an original Avatar B-410 with the first generation Deltalites, that handled a bit more power. It served me very well for years. I gave the cab to a friend when I needed to go smaller. He loves it, too. So now, I have a couple of Carvin BRX 10.2 neo cabs, with the same speakers, only not extended x-max.. I bought them here, from fellow TB'ers. I highly recommend the Avatar, $539. and free shipping, is a killer deal for that cabinet. The Carvin BRX cabs, are incredible. My 2-10, amazes me every time I use it. It's build as good as anything available, yeah, even the boutique cabs. I know, I've had those too. Two together, will floor you at the sound, with a powerful head. If funds permitted, and my live gigs required it, I'd actually be looking at getting another Avatar B-410.

I disagree, plenty of amps with a 4 Ohm minimum load impedance will be hurt driving less than a 2 Ohm load.
That's the reason they put an impedance notifcation on both cabs and amps.

not sure what you are disagreeing with..the svt pro 4 will do a variety of ohm loads..although it will only do a 4 ohm load at mono bridge..it will do 2..4..8 ohm running dual parallel (amp A & B)..the better amps will run a variety of loads..the lesser amps are more limited..I dont believe I mentioned running less than a 2 ohm load..which your post refers to..

"plenty of good amps will drive multiple 4 ohm cabs if you want to add in the future"

Agree that a stereo (twin mono) amp like your Pro 4 will but I don't think there are many amps that offer this feature to allow two 4 Ohm loads into a single head
Just an oh by the way

For what it's worth, over the years, I've used 10", 12" and 15" speaker combinations and have found my best results with the 12" speakers (with a tweeter). Used in various size venues from small clubs to concert halls, genres including blues, r&b, classic rock, big band, all different size jazz ensembles, smooth jazz, funk and country. In all cases, I've been consistently complimented on the sound. Again, this after several years of trial and error.

Personally, I found the 15's didn't produce the top that I sometimes wanted/needed and the 10's didn't provide the quality bottom end.

Certainly, you've got to have the right amp for the job as well (bass, strings, pick-ups, etc - it all makes a difference). I suggest that, when thinking about your sound, it's important to think beyond just the project that you are currently involved in. Wishing you all the best with your decision and new purchase!

I would highly recommend a GK Neo 4x10.

I love the TH 500 (also moved up to the AG 700) - also suggest you keep an eye out and check the classifieds here on TalkBass

Cabs you’d recommend? 4x10, 2x10, or 1x15?

or a 1 x 12?

Ready to pull the trigger on Sweetwater. I think I’m going to go with the Aguilar Tone Hammer 350. Probably be playing small to medium-sized gigs. Looking for a solid, reliable cab that can stand up to a classic rock gig. Nothing crazy loud/powerful, but ample. Looking for a reliable, dynamic sounding cab around $500. Been searching all night and my eyes are crossing! Some insight, please!

Just to be clear - "cab" is short for cabinet; speaker cabinet. A Tone Hammer 350 is an amp, short for amplifier. If you are buying both amp & cab I'd suggest you spend a little more and buy the TH500 and one SL112. If you need more volume later, buy a second SL112.
