I don't bait fish much for stripers but I like the owner ssw for drum. Generally user 10/0 for chunks. Would probably go with 8/0 for eels

For eeling, I really like the Gamakatsu 3604XX in sizes 6/0 and 7/0. It has the thicker wire I prefer with eels to resist tear-outs on the cast. The Mustad 39944-BN is a good option as well and is what I use for chunking in size 10/0. The only drawback I see on the Mustad for eeling is the thinner wire. Another really good Mustad option is the 39950NP-BN. It has a thicker wire than the 39944-BN but costs roughly twice as much per hook.
