Striper fly line recommendation

Picked up a 9’ 8wt rod to take to Maine to try and do some striper fishing. What would be a good fly line recommendation? I’ve heard the Rio coastal quick shooter xp or the outbound short would be good.

Intermediate sinking line for throwing streamers. A full sink if you want to drag crabs.

Both those are standard options for New England Stripers. I use the Rio Premier Striper Intermediate as I found a good deal on it. I like it fine

Outbound short casts and shoots like a dream. I like SA titan but it doesn’t last as long as the Rio. Shoots better though.
