THIS!
Plus a 4x10
LOL
That's how I roll at least.
"I do not have the ability to think rationally 90% of the time and I also change my mind at the drop of a hat".
I've only "really" played bass for less than a year filling in with other bands but I've always preffered 4x10's (which I've used mostly) or 2x15's (played a mesa on tour this summer and I really liked it, carrying it up 8 floors in Prague wasn't my favourite part though). 4x10+1x15 is what I've played in rehearsals lately the most, and that sounds really cool in that situation. Haven't tried it live yet though.
If we wanted to go full talkbass, we would also talk about speaker placement so as not to get phase cancellation, ask why you are even using pedals on bass, mention tone being in the fingers, argue about the merits of pick defend Kirk Hammett and the Pike Amps/3Leaf guy, and tell you repeatedly how you aren't living until you get a fEARful or fEARless or whatever, and if you must have tens, blow over a grand on a Berg 6x10.
That aside, I feel like, go with a 4x10 or a 2x12/2x15. 2 tens is not much.

It's funny. For years, I thought I hated clean bass. It turns out I just hate everything about modern (since the 80s-ish) hi-fI bass. I just want dub bass. When everyone on TB started going on about greenboy designs I sorta knew outright I would hate them. Tweeters and active pickups are gross.

I'll add to the other opinions that you might want a bigger speaker diameter. Even 12s will give you a good it more more low end... I like 10s in plenty of situations, but sometimes they can have a little too focused low-mids and feel really 1D. 2x12 or 1x15 would be my votes.
