Nominate your favorite single cab solution for *most* gigs

I'm using a Schroeder 115PL cab with a Shuttlemax 12.2. Lots of punch, sweet sounding tweeter, takes the 600 watts from one side of the 12.2, which has a very easy EQ to get what I want. When I want more, I add another 15PL cab. If I don't want to move two cabs and I need more volume, I'll take my Genzler 212T cab.

Currently my fave is a 410, seems to be the smallest cab I can get by with in my current band. Some seem to think this is excessive, but not really with my loud band. Unfortunately my current 410 got damaged at our last gig and I am currently looking for a replacement.
 
MAS 112. Simply outstanding in all departments (weight, maneuverability, TONE, and volume).
I've done small indoor to large outdoor (with PA support) with it. Never ceases to amaze me. And fits easily in the back seat of my WRX.
I've run it with my Presonus studio channel and Crown XLS 1000, but I love my little TC RH750, and it still kicks major booty with the baked in compression (magic).
 
SVT 810e. Heritage.

:D

Sorry Rich...I do have one but I don't use it for day-to-day stuff. I split time between a PF115hlf and SVT 210av, depending on whether I need a slightly darker or brighter sound. Neither will take a royal pounding, but it's so rare that I'm asked for one that I usually don't need to bother with anything that can. When I need to give the audience a little more what-fer, though, but keep a relatively small footprint, I either take two 210av's or one of my repro B-15 cabs with a Delta 15a inside, usually my Vintage Blue.
 
I have a SWR full stack (1x15 son of Bertha and 2x10 Goliath jr iii). I use it for my band's rehearsals cus it sounds great, but for other groups I just use the 2x10. I used to use 4x10s but honestly it's not like I ever get anywhere near the max volume of my 2x10, and this is even accounting for the fact that a majority of my recent gigs have been large outdoor festivals.
Anything larger would just be a matter of tone preference, I think.
 
Accugroove Tri 1-12. Love this cab for local bar gigs. it's light, powerful and handles a low B just fine.

I have a Genz Benz neox 212t that I can use for anything. Outdoors, indoors. I never even push it, and have more than I need, classic rock band with horns. Our band is good and loud but not ear splitting loud.

I also have an old beater Fender 250/115 that I use if it's going to be a dirty, grungy place, or outdoor gig with a threat of rain etc. Indoor, outdoor that's more than enough as well, but sometimes I have to crank it pretty hard and it doesn't put out the same depth of tone as the Genz. But it's enough.

I could get by easily for any gig I've played with a good 115. 212 is actually kind of overkill, but it's nice to have.
 
Wayne Jones 2 x 10 most indoor gigs, outdoors if I need to go bigger, add 2 more 10’s. These cabinets tend to vibrate everything in the room so watch out for falling bottles.
