Will use a Friedman 4x12 as my dry cab and have two Bogner 1x12 cabs wired at 16ohms that want to use at wet cabs. Which poweramp would you recommend to drive the Bogner cabs?

Matrix GT1000FX. I use one in my wdw setup. Sounds phenomenal.
Rob at Tone Merchants uses one in his massive Friedman wdw rig. I was sold on it once I found out that’s what he used. Rob can order one for you.

HH V800. Nothing compares. Just ask EVH, Steve Stevens and a bunch of other top pros. Funny thing is, there is one for sale in out classifieds (no affiliation). I personally own two of them.

The HH V800 is massive man. Its like twice the weight of his actual amp ...LOL
I would go with the Matrix as well.

I got a Carvin 200w single space one and it delivers the goods.

I'm using one of the Rocktron Velocity 300 1U power amps for my system. I'm perfectly happy with it. If you're pulling off the DI of your primary amp then all you need is a good clean SS power amp that has enough headroom. You don't need any coloring from that amp so no reason to get carried away.

I use a Mosvalve 982 one space power amp to send my wet signal to my 2 Marshall 1912 1x12 cabs, if I run a wet/dry/wet set up. It's about 80 watts per side in stereo or 160 watts on bridged mono. It works well for what it does, it's affordable, and since it's only 1 rack space, it's compact & lightweight.

Yes, the HH V800 is big and heavy, but they do sound amazing. I have one (never use it anymore).

Check out the Seymour Duncan Powerstage amps. They have a 2 channel and 1 channel you could fit on a pedal board. Great stuff.

But Eddie isn't moving his own gear Dave
I have a Matrix and it sounds great. If the H&H were cheaper and readily available I'd have probably bought one to try/compare. My stuff just sits in my guitar room so I'm not worried about having to transport it anywhere.

It would depend on how you're running your WDW rig. There are more than one ways to run WDW.
The original way was to run a main rig (D in WDW), mic it and run that signal thru stereo FX and then to the 2 W cabs. In this case, I would prefer HiFi amps & W cabs so as to not color the W sound.
The common way to do it is to run the main head fx send to stereo FX processor and then back into 2 amp FX returns (or a stereo power amp) into 2 more guitar cabs. But then you have to run a dry out of your fx send (sometimes an active splitter or the FX processor may have a dry out) to return to your amp's fx return for the D signal to the middle cabinet.
It just depends on how you want your FX to sound; colored or not.
The last time I did this when I was touring I played a 2204 into a Marshall Se-100>speaker thru to my main cab. Then the emulated line out to a Roland GP-8 stereo processor> QSC power amp into the 2 outside cabs. I didn't prefer any amp coloration in my fx.
If I were going to do it over again, I would use 2 active pa speakers for my stereo fx. But the secret is to get a good sounding (speaker emulated) signal into the FX and keep it clean after that.
