depending on the venues you think you will be playing, if they are small and the cab is not going to be mic'd you will need something that will give you enough to match the other guys in the band, however if you are playing in venues where the cab will be mic'd more often than not then something smaller with good tone would be ideal. the problem with getting bigger amps with small bands that are playing small venues is that guys go and buy massive cabs that are built for biger stages and if the sound guy knows what he is doing will ask them to turn them down. remember if you are playing in venues that will be full mic ups that the amp is basically for your monitoring and doesn't need to be super loud.
maybe have a look at the hartke stuff as well as the swr stuff. my advice is if you are going to be using it alot, then buy somethin good; if you buy something shitty you will end up replacing it quickly for something else and you would have spent the money that you would have if you bought something good to start with.
