If it's a known problem, would a reverb pedal in the loop not be a more cost-effective solution?

Chaps, before I go and buy a direct replacement for the tank in my Blues Jr, is there a good upgrade unit you would recommend?
I quite like spring units, but the one fitted to the Jr was never particularly good to my ear even when it did work!
Is there any advantage to having a spring, amp reverb rather than a pedal? Or even a digital reverb?
Surely an effects loop and no reverb is better because you can either put a pedal of your choosing in, including something like the Danelectro spring king, or even a valve driven vintage reverb unit, or a hall, plate, cave etc emulation that sounds better. Plus you can have delays and modulations and...
As it happens the reverb on my Mesa Lonestar Special works intermittently. If I unplug it from the chassis and back in again it works fine.
Yes. The spring picks up vibration from the speakers, which is a subtle form of feedback and adds complexity to the reverb sound. (It can actually cause out-of-control feedback if the reverb return gain is too high in fact.)
