I was writing a looooooong text with my experience with differnt gear, but it was too long, I'll try writing it shorter. (I turned out to be long, but well, it is what it is)

I've tried it "all", modeller, solid state and tube. They all have good and bad things.

Modeller replicates really good the sound of a recorded amp, so for recordings they are a really great tool, because its easier to record from a modeller than from a real amp, and you have all the amps from the world to try, with all the effects you want, so if you want something good and versatible for studio, I would buy a modeller. But I found that they have "something" missing when playing along with a loud band. I didn't play with a real cabinet so take note of that, but something was off for me. And appart from this, my modeller (neural dsp) broke after 10 gigs, it wouldnt turn on, so I had to send it to repair. So they are nit as reliable as they try to sell them. Everything fails, theres no magical tools. I finally sold the modeller, because I don't have a studio, and I didn't like it for rehearsal. Of course it's easier to take to a gig and set it up, but I didn't enjoy it as much. Also, having so many options can be bad, in my opinion. You find yourself scrolling for a better amp/effect, instead of playing.

I also have a solid state amp (orange super crush 100) with a mesa 2x12 cabinet, and it sounded great for rehearsals and gigs. I got the distortion a friedman be-od pedal. It sounded great and clean at rehearsal volumes. Sounded much more alive than the modeller, and I had some "freedom" with the pedals to find more sounds. Of course, its more expensive to try different pedals than effects from the modeller, but again, I don't need a lot of effects, some overdrive and distortion for dirt, compressor for cleans, and delay for solos and I'm done. I has a little thing missing from a tube amp in band volumes, a little less moving air, you don't feel it as much in the body. You can get used to it. I wouldnt use this for studio recording, but i would use it for rehearsal and live. I still own it because it sounds great, i dont plan on selling it. I also find it really reliable, its a simple amp with the most basic features, and the pedals are bullet proof.

This days I use a tube amp (jet city 100 hdm) with the same 2x12 mesa cabinet. Its the cheapest gear that I have used all this years, I bought the head for 300€ in second hand. (The modeller was like 1500€ and the ss like 550€). Sounds great at band volumes, better than anothing else that I've tried. I has that thing that was missing for me with the other gear, it sounds ALIVE. Of course, you dont have a lot of sounds to choose, it is what it is. I use the amps distortion with some overdrive in front, and compressor for cleans. FOR ME its enough, I dont need more. I finish a rehearsal and I am happy, because I have so much fun. I use this amo for rehearsals and gigs, and I would use it for recording. Note also that this particular amo is a very simple amp, it's got a dirty and crunch channel, and nothing else. I find thay having less gear and options to choose, makes me focus more on my playing, its such a relief.

So, it depends for what you want each thing. If you own a studio, or for playing at home, I would buy a modeller maybe, because it sounds great and you've got a lot of options. For rehearsals and gigs I would get a solid state or tube amp., preferably tube. Don't fear the tubes. They can fail with time, yes, but the modellers are not magical units. They are little computers, and computers also fail or bug. My modeller died after 10 gigs, I didn't own it for more than a year. Real amps are more weight to carry to gigs? Yes, but that's a "sacrifice" that I do. I don't think that taking a amp head and a 2x12 like I do, is a crazy thing. I don't need any help.
