Good suggestion. No need for 50mm or any hi rise guides on a 9' rod if you primarily use braid. I would go with the 40-30-25-20-16, plus 16 tip.
Toby, you can check my personal rods if you want before you build yours. I actually put 40-30-25-20-16-12, and 12 tip on mine. The 30-25-20-16-12 are all single foot.
