With regard to OP, if you have space it might be nice to try both, at least initially. If you get a power amp and an unpowered FRFR cab, you can compare the results with a regular guitar cab and see what you like. I've just bought a Matrix GT800FX power amp and FR10p cab, and I'm keeping my Zilla Fatboy 2x12 for the time being. Live I expect I'll mostly use the FR10p, but I'll see if the Zilla gets enough use to warrant keeping.

Anyway @jonnyscaramanga ;; thanks for the input, this subject is just expanding both in terms of confusion and expense lol.
I had to research why I might need a Matrix power amp and this short but to the point video helps the most.
I think that I might have to grow organically into that though not sure I can buy a AXFX or AX8, monitors, power amp and FRFR cab all at once, at least not without some heavy domestic issues
@Jonathanthomas83 No worries

Have had the AX 8 for a couple of weeks now and with a baby in the house I've been setting it up over headphones which isn't much fun but lets me position stuff in the grid for live shows.
First rehearsal through the EV ZLX12's we use for main PA (or FRFR as it seems to be called these days!!) was great. Just a few tweaks to the high and low cuts in the cab block and I got a great sound - much quicker than the Kemper I used to use
Oddly, I found the HD500 easier because you don't expect it to sound amazing so you just find a tone that vaguely works and and get on with it.
I found the AX8 significantly easier than the Helix.
Partly because the AX8-Edit Software is really good, but also I found there were a number of 'hacks' to use to get the best out of the Helix which just aren't options in the AX8.
Best purchase I ever made (after the AX8) was the Austin Buddy's Naked Amps pack.
I was completely cynical about the idea, I can dial in presets thank you very much.
But it's so useful, and gets amazing results with the built in IRs, so saves a chunk there
The way I look at it I’ve learned a great deal about how things affect sound, with no more cost than my original investment. That education is valuable.
It’s also allowed me to gig with minimal equipment: Guitar, AxeFX, midi pedal, and powered 1x12 speaker. Previously I would have needed electric and acoustic guitars, two amps and cabinets, and a large pedal board, and a larger car, to get the same range of sounds.
