Guide suggestions?

Hi All,
I thought I would chime and see what the rest of you may suggest for some guides on a sturgeon rod I have plans on setting up. Light weight guides are very important to me as I will be dealing with a fiberglass blank. I would also like the feet to be as large as possible for the most strength I can put to them. Color makes no difference but longevity is paramount.
This will be a 12 foot two section spiral wrap I plan to put through the mill.

Any suggestions?


Tight wraps and lines,
Wylie
