I ended up ordering a used caitlinbread pedal today. I was over complicating things, analysis paralysis.

Which one did you order? When you get it (and have a chance to experiment) let us know your impressions.

I went with the Formula 51. I’m interested in the Sag control.

The volume of the Superblock is dependent on the speaker you plug it into.

Can you elaborate in that a bit? What would give me max volume from a USSB? I'm not really very good at this part of things. I'm thinking an efficient open back 10". And probably even louder with a 4 ohm (is that correct)?

How about this open back 10 from Raezers Edge? The stock speaker is a Ragin Cajun.

EDIT: I've been doing some searching and there's a Mesa 1x10 closed back 1x10 cab (they came in both closed and open) with some variant of the Celestion Vintage G10 speaker. I've read about those for years but I've never actually seen one in real life.
