The best would be a V head w/ a 2 x 12 cab or your choice!

Try a Metalhead 500 through a pair of Superchamp XD II cabs.

I'd go for a used Mesa, or the previously mentioned Blackstar or Marshall. I don't think the HRdeluxe would get you the sound your after. I played a HRDeville in hard rock band before, but the singer kept telling me I should use his Mesa, which had a lot more growl to it. But you didn't say how much you were willing to spend either.

Peavey 6505 212 combo. Not sure why you want a Fender for Metal.

Peavey has some decent high gain amps. To my knowledge, Fender has never really indulged that much in high gain.

That would be like Metallica or Megadeth trying to play blues through their rigs. It would sound like $#@!!
