I use a BF Deluxe Reverb most the time in a fairly aggressive funk/rock/blues band. It usually has plenty of volume to keep up, unless we are outdoors or in a big venue with a horn section. When we do those gigs I use a SF Bassman head and a 1x12 cab.

My DR has an efficient speaker, which helps a lot. There are a number of good choices, including the Weber 12F150. Some folks like a Celestion Vintage 30 or an EVM12L - both pretty loud. I use an Altec 417 8C, and my DR is louder than any Classic 30 I've encountered.

Unless you want a big loud clean sound, I'd get the DR and upgrade the speaker.

As always, YMMV.
