If you owned a Fender HotRod Delux, which speaker would you install?

Celestion Blue
Tone Tubby
Weber
Other?

Pretty straight forward question.  I figure until I buy a new amp, I've gotta get that stock speaker outa there, it's killing me.  Right now I'm torn between the Celestion & TT.  You guys decide!
Guitars: Resurrection Phishy Hollowbody (koa top/back, cedar sides, Schaller Golden 50 pups, 2 series/single coil/parallel switches), Gibson SG Faded, Dean Evo, Fender Tele, Ovation Acoustic, Fender Acoustic

Signal Path: Garmopat-modded Vox V847 wah > Emma Discumbobulator > TS808 silver > TS9 silver > Ross Compressor (grey) > Alesis Microverb (reverb) > Mesa Boogie Mark III with custom 2x12 AO cabinet (speakers: Tone Tubby & Emminence Commonwealth).

Loop 1: Whammy II > Nova Delay
Loop 2: Alesis Microverb (reverse) > Ibanez DM2000 > CAE Super Trem > Black Cat Vibe
Loop 3 Boomerang+
Tuner: Boss TU-3

Effects not in use:  Voce Spin II (leslie sim), Boss DD6, Digitech RPM-1 (leslie sim), Analogman Orange Squeeze, Keeley 4knob Comp, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Super Hard On (boost), Ibanez AW7 (autowah), Denelectro French Fries (autowah) - If interested in any of these PM me.  Always willing to deal.

I love the TT speakers in my hard truckers cab, I don't think I'll ever play without them.

Walker,
You know your going to buy a new amp anyway, so why not put the $100-200 or so that you would spend on a speaker upgrade and save a bit till you get a Deluxe or Twin or whatever is itching at you at that time.

I really would like a small Princeton (reissue or older) or if money suddenly becomes good, a 55 tweed deluxe reissue (nice and light weight!). You know I will call you when I find a good priced Princeton looking to sell you my deluxe anyway. I don't gig like you, so I don't need the deluxe (or do I?)

Off topic: Problem is I have bought several other small tube amps and when in the same room as the deluxe I cant help but hook them up to that cabinet and they all sound great though the deluxe making me never like anything else. It must be the size of the cabinet because everything sounds like ass next to it even though its a stock reissue. I don't have mod's on anything and I still love my basic little setup.

I have to agree with the above.  A better amp with a p.o.s. speaker is going to sound better than your amp loaded with the best sounding speaker ever made.
