    30lb for sure. difference in diameter is neglegable but an extra 10lb of pull is well worth it.

    Are you taking any heavier gear? you may need it

    I'd definitely go the 30lb braid for out around the reef.

    Make sure to run good length leader of at least 50lb tough mono because you WILL! get rubbed up against a lot of nasties.

    Have a great time. Stubbie!
