Which is the best paired with a vintage 30 in a 2x12 cab. Playing style is classic rock, 80's, country, some blues. Not heavy metal. I'm one of those guys who can't buy a cable without an opinion, sorry.

I run 50W to each speaker, but rarely crank the level past about 1/3 on my power amp.

The power handling of a 212 will be double the rating of the lowest speaker. IE so if you have a 60Watt and 65Watt speaker, the cab power rating is 120Watts. If you have a 30Watt and 60Watt speaker in a 212, the cab rating is 60Watts.
So to increase the wattage of your cab, you would have to replace both vintage 30's with higher wattage speakers. Now one advantage if you do put say a CL80 and V30 in your cab, with the speakers wired in parallel, is if the V30 goes, than the CL80 should hopefully still be good and thus providing a speaker load on the amp.
