Looking for my next amp, want some suggestions.

Been looking for a new amp for a while. Finally nailed down my final five options for the most part. Just wanted some better opinions on what I have. They are:
Vox AC30 2x12 with 2 greenbacks
Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb 50 MKII 1x12 with stock speaker
Harmony H420 1x15 with stock Jensen speaker (same as Supro Thunderbolt but with separate bass and treble controls)
Fender Dual Showman Head (same as Fender Twin but a head) with 2x12 cab with Cerwin Vega Speakers
Traynor Mark 3 Head with 2x12 cab with Cerwin Vega Speakers
If anyone has any experience with these, or has any other suggestions, feel free to let me know, but I'm only really looking for local stuff, and this is the best I can find for my price. Also, this won't make my final decision, I just want some help. Thanks!

What kind of music do you play, and what amps do you already have ?

That Rectoverb is a great amp. The gain channel is more in line with higher gain settings for my ears, and I prefer the 25W over the 50W because there is no low volume setting on the 50W. It goes from "I can't hear anything" to "blow your eardrums off" with just a small twist of the knob. It almost seems like after you go above 3 on the volume setting, you're going into diminished returns territory.

If it was me, I'd be looking for the Rectoverb 25W. PLENTY loud.

Yeah the ROV25 will definately be more reasonable for lower volume playing, however, if this new amp is going to be used in a band setting the Single Rectifier ROV50 would be a safer bet due to the extra clean headroom. The ROV25 will most likely break up to soon in a band situation making it unusable for cleans.
