Mostly, when pulling longline, I use a pair of each, 8's, 10's, and 12's, all BGJP's. Pushing I use, a pair of each in 6'6" triggers, 9' Wally marshall Med Heavy, and 11' wally marshall Med Heavy. When doing both I use 4 up front and the 6 out the rear sides. If I go straight out the back O use 4 @ 6'6" and whatever else I feel I can manage with the skill level of my guest.
7.5-9.0 ft long, varies brands all moderate action, power rating doesn't really matter as long as line test goes from 8 or 10 lb to 17+ lb (most are medium or medium heavy (with a few ML and few H) but power ratings are very arbitrary).
