I put an R in a Deluxe Reverb once and thought the amp wasn’t working properly, it was so quiet.

He's thinking of a blue which would probably double the volume of the amp, have also advised there are cheaper good sounding ceramic options which would increase the volume.
At the end of the day, there is no definite right answer... just whatever works for you. I have a WGS G12C in my 5E3 and it works really well too.

Not that hard when the stock Celestion is the Ten 30 .

In a set like that, they're great for Super and Bassman type sounds (with my Heartbreaker) but far too loose and boomy for anything higher gain. The cab drops the volume down some compared to various 2x12s, which allows you to go that bit harder on the master, and in that particular amp, that's a good thing.
The very light magnet (the same as on the 12?) means you get a really specific response that's loose and enveloping in the bottom end, and it sits really well in a mix against the 2x12 V30s the other fella in my band uses.
As I said in the original post it’s not mine, I have a Celestion Neo Creamback which works really well, it replaced a G12H Anniversary, which was good but a bit aggressive in the top end sometimes. The Neo smoothes it out and is much lighter to boot - great speaker.
If my mate gets a blue I will be very interested to compare!
