Shimano Baitrunner 4500 Setup

I am getting a baitrunner 4500 and have a few setup questions. First, what's a good rod to go with it? Primary fishing is for stripers and blues off the boat. Also, what kinda line should I put on the reel? What's a good line? 17# or 20# mono? Or braid? I've heard pros and cons for both. My friend claims that the braid will spook the stripers if they see it, even if you have a real long fluorocarbon leader. Suggestions for rigging this?

Also, what's a decent CHEAP bait rod/reel combo for sabiki rigs, mackerel jigging, etc?
