heavy surf rod blank question

I'm looking for a good heavy surf rod blank that will be wrapped for a conventional reel. I guess I have it narrowed down to the Rainshadow SU 1209, Lamiglas SB 121 3M, or Lamiglas SB 121 5M based on comments from others and stuff I've read on the web. So do guys have any suggestions. Right now my heavy conventional rod is the heavy 10' Tica, and I'm not really interested in replacing it unless one of the above are noticeably different.

Is there any benefit to the glass over graphite since the graphite is probably lighter? Would the SU 1209 really be more likely to break than the stuff from Lami?

I'd be using it for heavy plugs, heavy bucktails, and big rigged eels - weighing up to 7oz.

Thanks,
Ty
