200 or 250, personal preference. i use both on mine. i'd make the decision based on what other rods you might put it on. 9' rod, go with 200. 10'+ rod, go with 250. Or try both and see which you prefer.
as others have said, if minimal dunking and no swimming, saltiga 4500z (older model) is a great reel. new model is big $$, and the reviews i've read are not great. my experience, reeling any reel underwater will lead to issues, especially under strain. VS will make it through the season but will need work. mine has had significant rust inside.
