Whatever floats your boat, but Damon is giving you pretty good advice. Casting a one ounce bank sinker is a lot easier than casting a 7" Bomber which weighs more than an ounce. I can cast a half ounce on a conventional "if I have to" but I've been doing it about 20 years. And I still need the right rod/reel set-up to do it. It's a heck of a lot easier to do it on a spinning reel, but it still has to be matched to the right rod to avoiud so-called wind knots.
It's fairly common for up-and-coming fishermen to "fish for show", we all do or did it. The older you get, the more you start fishing with the easiest tool in the shed. And if you ever "fish for dough", you use the tool that's least likely to put you out of action. It's a lot easier to blow up a conventional's spool beyond repair than a spinning reel.
