I owned a Shuttle 6 for a couple years and it really was impressive. I now have an LMIII and I think it has a bit more poop then the Shuttle did and its a very different kind of tone. I also owned a GK 800rb for many years and loved the GK tone as it can be very snarly and aggressive. My suggestion would be either a Shuttle 9 for the extra power, the LMIII or the GK1001rb. You can't go wrong. The GK will be heavier then the others but its not that bad to carry around. It can go in a small Gator type rack or there is even a GK carrying case available.

I have a matching soft bag for the LMIII that the amp stays in when in use and its really cool. I use it with a 4 ohm 410 and there is lots of power and headroom.

All good choices really.
