I also have a Takamine Jasmine and I think the last strings I put on there were Dean Markleys, though I can't remember the gauge. Probably .013s. I use .010s on my electrics because, when I play other guitars, which tend always use .009s, I can really shred on them.

I happen to be shopping for cabinets at the moment too, though I'm probaby doing a custom 2x12 build. I have an Ampeg 4x12, which has the same Celestions as your Marshall. Paid $160 for it. I run a 100w Soldano Decatone through it. I can't imagine you'd have any use for a second cabinet unless you just liked having your head high enough up that you don't have to bend down to mess with the knobs. You should have no problem running both cabs with a 100w+ head. Just be sure to have your impedance set right on everything.
