Gig tomorrow, which mix of these available speakers?

A last minute gig came up for tomorrow and I'd like to use my new 2X12 cab instead of a 4x12. It's convertible from half to closed back. I have the following single speakers available. Which of these would work together and in which cabinet configuration. I probably won't be miked and will play mostly clean. I also have a pair of Carvin G12-8's at my disposal, but don't have any specs on them.

1. Emi GB128 101.4 db
2. Emi Texas Heat 99db
3. Reverend Alltone 99db
4. Emi Commonwealth 100db
5. Celestion 70/80 98db
6. Peavey Sheffield 1230 96.7db

I would ditch the Carvin speakers.. (I like some carvin stuff, but those G12S are some of the worst guitar speakers I've ever heard).

A GB/Texas Heat combo should sound nice!

Definitely GB128 + Heat...


And as reference, I started finding that decibel ratings are not a very good way of comparing anything... I've paired Celestions with Eminence speakers that were about 3dB off from each other and they sounded identical in volume...
