I usually get a dozen for a night, but bring about 6 - 8 when I leave my truck to go to a spot. I would rather have more on me than run the risk of running out.

As far as hooks, I like the 5/0 Gami HD live bait hooks. I have been messing around with Gami 5/0 Octopus this year because I have not been able to get a bulk supply of the HD LB's yet. Tried several types of cirlce hooks a few seasons ago. They all sucked for me. More gut hooked fish than I ever got on straight hooks.
