The 65 DR is a great match for a Ric. I tried a few of them when I was amp shopping last year. They seem to have a more pronounced midrange than most Fenders. It's easy to imagine one becoming your go-to amplifier.
As for me, the Fender Supersonic was the best match.

Re: Ric w/Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue
The Fender DRRI is a great amp with any guitar and every guitarist should have one. I am liking my chinese AC 15 a lot as well, especially with a Ric 360/12. I'm starting to get hooked on it for my Tele too. I have had many amps come and go but these two are both keepers for playing at home.
Re: Ric w/Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue
Howdy,
While I adore Champs/Vibro Champs (I've got a '68 VC) and Twins, the Deluxe never "did it" for me. I suppose one could consider the Deluxe Reverb to be a 20 watt version of the Vibro Champ, but it never turned me on. I know that my opinion is in the minority here.

Re: Ric w/Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue
Don't you miss having reverb? Or do you use an outboard unit? 
Re: Ric w/Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue
Howdy,
Do I miss reverb on my Vibro Champ? Heck no; turn it up and you don't need reverb LOL
Remember, the Vibro Champ is more of a "hard rock" amp. They're popular for recording overdriven parts at "living room" decibel levels. I was all prepared to to fall in love with the Deluxe, but it just didn't do the trick for me. YMMV.
With my 360/6 plugged into my old Vibro Champ I can get a good approximation of the tone Keith Richards had on "Get Off My Cloud" by just turning the volume up to 7 or so. Of course, this can be done on a Deluxe Reverb as well and one wouldn't have turn the volume near so high.
The built in Trem on my Vibro Champ beats anything i've ever heard, btw. Ideal for "Born on the Bayou" or "Crimson & Clover" .
The Deluxe can certainly be useful when power tube overdrive is needed at a small/ medium sized club settings. I've employed early 70s Deluxes for such duties and they were good. For me, the sound of an overdriven Champ or Vibro Champ sounds more..Hmm..like the tone on "Get yer Ya-Ya's Out" than I was able to get from a Deluxe. Deluxes are very popular, so are Champs. Good luck!
