Good Performance Combo Amp for Guitar?

I'm looking for an combo amp that's an upgrade from my crappy Squier practice amp and my even more crappy first generation Fender G-Dec. I want something that I can perform with at small venues at my college with my a band a few friends and I are starting up if we get good enough. So it needs to have good tone and power for performance, yet still good for just practicing. I play a Schecter C-1 Classic and use a Boss Me-70 for effects and amp modeling. I want something versatile, but it's important that it can give a good rocky sound because that's mainly what I play. I'm looking to spend probably between 300-700 bucks, but recommendations that cost more are still greatly appreciated. Also, do you think it'd be better if i bought a cabinet or would a combo do for my needs? I want something that I can grow into as a musician after playing on crappy practice amps for the 6 or so years I've been playing guitar. It'd also be nice if it had some EQing and multiple inputs for the other people in the band.
