my arra 1205 cut 6" from the butt with tiny guides. It is completely different than an off the rack 1205, though, Otherwise, a 1201m would suffice, but it might lose out to All star 1208. If we are really talking only 1 rod ever and for all shore purposes, I think I would go with the 1208. It can throw 6-8oz and a chunk if necessary, or a red fin. Although, the 1201m probably wouldn't break either, but it would be awfully soft with that weight.
