What guitar (& pickups), through what pedals and pedal configuration, into what amp?
A lot of different speakers will get you close to the bands you've mentioned. As you want to play material encompassing a variety of artist tonal offerings, close is really all you can strive for. And many speakers will get you close enough. In other words, attempting to achieve an individual artists tone would narrow it down considerably but would certainly place some restraints towards accommodating versatility. That said, my first recommendation would be to decide on what efficiency is desired. IE: the sensitivity/volume of the speaker you hope to obtain. Best to understand the significant volume output differences between say a 97db speaker vs a 100db speaker. Two V30s at 100db will absolutely bury the 97db T75s they are paired with and most likely sound strange being mixed together as a result. I've seen a lot of people dismayed and second guess their choice when they are confronted by the alarming bark of a V30. Also, a Creamback M65 (medium magnet) is a much different sounding speaker than a Creamback H75 (heavy magnet). Got a loud amp? Maybe you'd benefit more from an inefficient speaker choice. Amp not quite loud enough when a drummer joins in? Maybe an efficient speaker will level you up. Once you decide on these things, then move forward and investigate tonal attributes being offered such as cone breakup tendencies, low/high end behavior, warmth and overall frequency response.

For sure. I had to try both ways to find the differences and choose proper application in what works in that cab and my ears. Will be a bit of work but worth the experience gained.
