Which speaker to try?

So I got my first Gretsch one week ago today....a G6120. Now I have a speaker question. I use a Genz Benz Black Pearl head and my cabinet presently has a warehouse speaker...not sure which one at the moment. I'd like to replace this 12" speaker and I'm wondering what the thoughts are out there. The regular Black Pearl combo uses a Red Fang speaker. What do you guys/gals think??

What are you looking for. Clean headroom, or early breakup?

Great for rock, perhaps not so good at quiet volumes

dropped a copperhead into my 64 princeton and it sounds great!
I've got a red fang in my DeLisle a little earlier breakup but just as sweet

I should have mentioned breakup. I'm a rhythm player mostly and I like a clean sound with plenty of headroom and a high break up point.
