9' rods are great and if you have the right one can be a great all-around rod, allowing you to throw lighter plugs, eels, 3 oz plugs all night and still have the backbone to turn a big fish. My personal best was on a 9' rod in a nor-easter. That said, I would recommend the GLB 108mh. You really cant go wrong with any of the mentioned rods, but I would honestly recommend finding people who actually have them, and talking a test cast with any rod you might buy. We all have different ideas of what an ideal action is, so buying strictly on someone else's opinion can be a costly mistake.
