6 and 8.
If you are still getting gut hooking, try size 8 Octopus circle hooks, if you can find them.

8 and I use 10's many times. Smaller the hook and line, better the bite.

I mainly use size 8 and once in a while a size 10.

Owner mutu light circle hook size #10, BPS is the only place that I can find them, no more gut hooking.

214 eagle claw; regular wire not the extra light wire- will handle those bull bream and shellcrackers in heavy cover. I have used that hook for about 50 yrs.

I'm a big fan of the #10 as well, smaller the hook, the more fish I catch, I also prefer the long shank as it helps me unhook them
