Which subwoofer should I get?

While the discussion here seems to have morphed into a back-and-forth about REL vs SVS, in my many years attempting to tame modes in my room(s) with two very capable "air moving machines" (no brand names mentioned to avoid the resulting arguments), sometimes augmented with PEQ via a miniDSP, my suggestion is to GET A PRODUCT WITH ROOM CORRECTION, THE MORE ADVANCED THE BETTER.

Many subs can move lots of air. But integration tools (DSP PEQ) to tame room modes can make a less expensive air-mover sound magnitudes better than many very expensive air-mover that operates, more or less, open loop at the mercy of standing waves.

@misterbobman While DSP can certainly help a lot and is very convenient, proper room placement and carefully dialing in the sub’s controls can achieve the same thing or better in taming modes/nodes (DSP can’t do anything about nodes BTW) and achieving excellent results — just takes a little research and effort, and it’s not all that hard.

"...to tame room modes", not "nodes".  Please refer, with accuracy next time, to my entry.
