I would want the 250 for the 11'6.
I like the 200 on a light 10 foot rod. 250 works nice on a heavier one.

9 footer can go either way, 150 or 200.
If you fish mono, without a doubt go with the 200. If you like braid take a look at both reels, you can hold plenty of braid on the 150.
The 150 is deceptive, it's a tough reel with a lot of line capacity for it's size. Cape guys are very loyal to the 150, but they often fish lighter braid since they don't have to worry about rocks.
You might consider taking the rod your planning to use to a shop with both sizes of reels and giving it a trial fit.
On most 11 footers I like the 250. A few mono guys still go with the 300.

i was lucky enought to try both a vs200 then a vs150 on my ron arra 1084 9' 2pc...the 200 is fine but after a while I noticed that it felt like I was casting the middle of the rod more than the tip due to the added weight ...i then tried the 150 and chose it. for 10~11 ft I would go 200 .
I decided to go conv, for a 10ft for the fall big pluggage .

Go with the 250. Best all around size. I have fished mine on rods from 8'6" to 10'. I've seen the main shaft bent to the point of not being fishable on a couple 150's. Too small, IMO, for most surf situations in New England. Your results may vary.
