I'm treating myself to a regular 6505 head (not the mini). What 2x12 cabs do you recommend?

You're halfway there, just get another closed back. I'm telling you, I've tried every 2x12 out there, and NOTHING held a candle to 2 1x12 Thieles side by side. You can always grab one and go, great for stereo set up should you choose, etc.. Versatile.
If I had to insist on a 2x12, I'd recommend a Genz Benz G-Flex on the cheap, (if you find one), an Orange PPC212, or the ever popular Mesa 2x12.

I already have an Orange PPC412 but that for now is reserved for my other amps. I like your idea about getting another 1x12. Should I get the Thieles version or the closed back compact wide body? BTW… can I modify my current 1x12 to a closed back cab?

Well, as OCD as I am, I'd have to go wide-body, to match what I already had. Man, screw the 6505. Stack up 2 wide-bodys, and slap that Mark V 35 on top. I had a Mark V 25 with the 2 Thieles, and it was magnificent. I preferred it to my 4x12. Tight, focused, just killer. I loved that set up, I used Mark IV mode with a boost pedal, sick tone.
