Here is the data for the 12 drivers which were 'above average' in SPL at 40hz.
I added some other data and created a scoring system to find the drivers which represented the best value and performance. I added one star for each driver which was below a certain price threshold (130 seemed to be a good threshold- drivers get a lot more expensive past that point.) I added a star for drivers which 'wanted' a relatively small box for a flat sealed alignment, although this one is very arbitrary - sealed alignments tend to be fairly flexible, especially with DSP in the mix. I added a star for drivers which were in the top 10 or so in terms of SPL at 40hz and 200hz. I then subtracted a star for any driver which had inappropriately high power handling (indicating that 100W wouldn't be able to get the most out of it) or inappropriately low power handling (indicating that the driver couldn't make use of the amp.) This is also somewhat arbitrary, but the scoring is useful because it allows us to focus on the drivers which seem like great fits, say the 3-4 star ones.
Of these, and I feel really proud of myself for thinking this driver would work well, the Dayton RS270p is probably the best, for $100, and for $130 we have the Ciare driver
@hardisj mentioned. The Dayton RS270 has more output than the paper version, but it also wants a bigger box. If a seriously low budget option is desired, the Visaton W250 is under $70 dollars and does a lot of things well.
I would like to bring availability and supplier into the equation as well. I heavily favor getting all the parts from one source to save on shipping, and since the amps being tested are sold at PE, I would favor drivers sourced there as well. However, Madisound and Meniscus in the USA are both good options for drivers. I would certainly like to avoid having to buy parts from three suppliers if possible.
Finally, the big factor these ratings don't consider is linearity. I will probably add another column to the chart showing the highest frequency you can use before breakup becomes obvious. Regarding distortion, I would defer to
@hardisj , but I would suspect any of these would be pretty good.
Again, at this point due to the supplier, price, reputation for low distortion, bandwidth, and output, I would favor the RS270P, but I am very interested in what other people have to say.
