When chunking out of an anchored boat I set up above the rip and use an egg sinker. Depth and current dictate how much weight. Generally I get away with 1 to 2 oz.
I love to bring the kids out and chunk, because it is somewhat easy in that you're not constantly throwing and reelin. Let the line out 10 - 30 yards, put on the clicker, stick the rod in the rod holder and wait for the reel to sing. Not the most technical way to fish, but great with the kids.
Off the beach I would use a fishfinder rig with a few ounces of weight to hold bottom, again depending on current and depth.
