I would start with the 210XST(8) based on what you've shared thus far. The 210XST will provide incredible tight low-end, great mid response, and clear/crisp highs (30hz-14khz; 103 SPL; 500W power handling). What's not to like about that?

The 4 ohm cabinet WILL pull more power from the amp, this is true. HOWEVER, that does not mean you will have more coverage. There is a difference. This is why I suggest staying with 8 ohm cabinets.
