Depends on your definition of "better".
The Thiele will have more low-end and sound bigger. Both will be tight, but the Rec slant will be tighter. Either way, you'll want the cab on the ground or it will have no low-end at all.
Stacking a slant cab on a Thiele sounds GREAT.
As an alternative, I have a 1x12 closed-back ported cab that I think sounds much bigger than the Thiele. It gives my 2x12 recto vertical cab a run for its money. Huge.

The other thing to consider if you are going really open the Mark V up volume wise is that the Recto slant has a V30 which I think is rated for 60 watts Vs 90 watts for the C90 in the Thiele. If you play really loudly it's possible you could kill the V30.

RA 27" 1 x 12 extension cab is absolutely killer sounding. Just putting that out there.

You guys think wheels take away from bottom end ?
I have both standard Thiele and wide body .... my vote is wide body.... find yourself an EV 12 L BADASS

Yes, the wheels take away from the low end. I have run my cabinets at varying height from the floor and proximity has a HUGE effect on low end. The type of flooring also matters.
