I have a mono 2x12 cab with v30s (16 ohm). I want to wire it mono/stereo like this:

I'm expecting to have 16 ohms in stereo and 8 ohms mono, which is perfect. As I understand it, this should give me less volume when running one cab (at home) with little effect on the tone. When I set up with both 2x12 cabs for rehearsal and gigs they'll run 8 ohm and give me the extra power. I know that ideally I want a switching stereo jack so that both the hot and ground parallel connections are broken when running in stereo. I'm also looking at jacks that don't have sleeve to chassis grounding, and have verified that the mounting plate is plastic with no foil or other conductive elements that I can see.
That said, I don't entirely understand how this works . I want to do this top-notch, so I'm trying to find high quality parts; Neutrik jacks would be a good bet right?. It looks like the switching jacks I'm seeing on their site disconnect when unplugged, which is the opposite of what I thought I needed. Can anyone give me a run down on how this should work?
