The 1975 SF Twin is the best quality of those by a wide margin. If you can handle the weight of the amp (literally) then go for that one. It's a hand wired vintage amp.
The Hot Rod series of amps were plagued with reliability issues which they didn't resolve until the 3rd generation of them. They're a perfectly fine mid-level affordable amp when you want to step up to a gig level solution. One that old is going to require service though (and they're not fun to service and the techs I've talked to hate them).
The Super 210 is a solid state amp and if someone is charging as much as a Twin or HRD then that's total rip off.

Fender vs. Fender vs. Fender
Quick teenage-like question.
I can get a 1st gen Hot Rod Deluxe (40W), a 1975 (silver face) Twin Reverb & 1991/2 redknob (60W) Super 210, for the same price.
I am thinking mostly good quality (no ice pick) clean tones.
Which amp would be the best for that ?
Guitars will have all sorts of pick ups : various humbuckers, Tele, Strat, and various P90's & 'bucker sized P90's.
Thanks to all.
