Interesting.
If you go the MAGMA path you'd better build the box strong coz those baby's have a reputation of tearing them apart.
Also consider what amp you might be using to power it.
DLS Iridium and Ultimate Reference are dual 4ohm coils so if you go with 1 sub then you can have 2ohm load (or 8ohm i guess)
Magma are dual 3ohm so 6ohm or 1.5ohm load
The DLS Iridium is only $100 (retail) dearer than the UR and the Iridium is the one all the top SQ competitors are using so i'd probably go with it over the UR.
Interesting to note your comments on the IDQ. I have only heard the MAX in own set-up and in other well done installs and it sounded great.

the idq is a sweet sounding sub and IMO sounds better than tha max from all that i have heard. the max does go louder but the idq would be a 15 more than likely.
the Adire sub's interest me but i have not heard anyone talk about them for a while, and an 18in Maelstrom sounds like it would be fun
the amp i will get after i get the sub so that doesnt worry me

Whats taking care of your midbass duties? I think that if you go down the route of getting a sub that has a lot of presence (such as the IDMAX) you may think about tightening up your midbass up front.
I've heard all the Image Dynamics subs you have listed; I've been impressed. I've also heard the Shiva. Out of those three, I say go the IDQ15.
