Depends on where you are fishing (and to a lesser extent what rod).
Almost all my fishing is done with plugs 2-4 oz. For most of it I use a Calcutta 400, Abu 6500, Newell 229, or Calcutta TE. I think the mid-sized reels have plenty of power to do the job (the canal may be an exception because of line capacity issues) and are much more pleasurable (easier to cast and lighter) to fish than their bigger brothers.
