Paul,

While I think this is a great rod building board, I'd suggest you post your question on stripersonline.com. I don't know of a more knowledgeable group of board members when it comes to plugging the surf. They come from all over the "striper coast." Post your question on both the Main forum and on Al Goldberg's forum. The people there have intimate knowledge of the blanks you listed and could probably recommend a dizzying array of other options.

Mark

I too am enbarking in a similar project for my Shimano 400 and will go to that site for further advice.

You might want to take a look at the Rainshadow ISP1445F-M. It is a 12', 2 piece, 10-20 lb. test, 1/2 - 2 1/2 oz lure weight rod blank.
The original design was for Hawaii Surf Casting with lighter lures and long distances for the Ulua. It has crossed over very well for East Coast Surf Casting of this type.
