On a '71 Super Lead with 4 speaker outputs, which output should be used if only 1 speaker cabinet is being used? Furthest Left? Furthest right, next to the impedance selector? No difference? Thanks

There's no shorting jack like there is on Fenders, so as others have mentioned, no difference in which one you use.

Bogner recommends to use one specific output in their amps if you are going to use just one of them.

I don't know the reason but it called my attention when I saw it.

rufes, most amps these days have a shorting jack on the 'Main' spkr output. This will dictate that that 'main' jack has to be in use. Fenders have had shorting jacks in this application for decades.
AS noted above, the Marshall in question does not have a shorting jack. The lack of the shorting jack is a safety feature. Without it, the OT is in great danger if one forgets to plug in a speaker before bringing the amp online.
