Speaker preferences tend to be pretty subjective depending on who answers and the type(s) of music they listen to most of the time. The last time I listened to some display models, my preference was POLK speakers.

If you do end up removing the dome light and don't think you'll have further need for it, I'd be interested in taking it off your hands for adding a rear light when I get around to installing the hatch popper I still have boxed up around here somewhere.
