So I'm getting all my gear together, and I'm kind of puzzled on what cabinet to get to record guitar. My heads include Peavey 6505+ and Peavey XXX

This is so stereotypical...but for good purpose...because they sound good. 
Go with a Mesa 4x12 or the 6505/5150 4x12.
I've heard a 5150 through a 4x12 Genz-Benz that sounded killer before, too. A buddy of mine recorded a whole CD with a Dual Rec through a Budda cab and it was NOT meant to handle a high-gain grit. But a clean-channel Budda sounds like heaven.
Also, another buddy has a 2x12 Line6 something-or-other extension cab (it wasn't too cheap) and a Mesa 2x10 extension cab, throws two different mics on each one and it sounds GOOD. Decent bottom end, too, especially from the Line6 cab.

I dunno, maybe a Peavey?

Haha yeah, true. Stick with the brand!
Honestly, the XXL 4x12 cab doesn't sound bad at all for a $400 cabinet.

IMO the Peavey cabs sound like ass when compared to a Marshall cab loaded with G12H 30 speakers.
