i would not recommend the glb1082mh. it's a pretty stout rod. it will not handle lures under 1.5 very well.
the gsb1142m is a whip stick. it has no tip pwer at all. you'd have to cut 6" off the tip before you even make it handle lures over 2 ounces. i was not too happy w/ the blank when i got it.
i have no experience on the gsh-series from lamiglas, but i wouldnt be surprised if the specs of the gsh-series blank is similar to the similar numberd gsb-series blank.
the batson su1145f may work, but i'd bet it's too soft. the other 2-pieces may be too much rod and are all 10'6" or longer. good luck finding all stars.
the gsb1202L may do what you want, but it is 10'. my 1-piece 1201L handles 1/2 to 3 oz, but is ideal for 1 - 2.5. 2 is about perfect. i have not built on the 1202L, but cutting the blank will void the warranty from the factory and may alter the characteristics greater than it would on the 1-piece 1201L. also, ignor the lure weight on the lamiglas website. they are usually off on this series and are way off on the 10' and 11' models.
i have yet to find a 2-piece that matches the gsb1081m, which is about the perfect light rod for the range you want. another perfect one would be the batson sw1087 in a 2-piece, which i have yet to find available.
another possibility is the csb1082m. i have not built on that, but i have built on the series. they do have glass tips and the surf series of the triflex series are a little tip heavy. you mentioned you wanted graphite, so that one may be out too.
