If it will take a fly, I'll throw one to it!

Streamer outfit

Hey guys, particularly those of you who are avid streamer fishermen. What would you recommend for a good streamer outfit. I'm not sure whether I should go with a 6 or 7 weight rod. I have some very large streamers I want to throw. I used to have a fly logic 5/6 FLO, but the thing sucked so I sold it and I want a new rod for streamer fishing. Whether i should get medium, medium fast, or fast action (i can cast well enough to adjust to the rod's action, but my preferred action is med-fast)? What length between 8'6" and 10 feet? What line: floating, sink tip, intermediate, full sink, interchangeable? And what size reel? Do you guys like to go up a size in the reel for the line weitght you're using?

I, like all ffers, love the big tickeet items, but can't afford them. Just to give you an idea about the rods I've been looking at:

St. Croix legend ultra
LOOP multi series
Sage SLT (closeouts)
Scott s3 (closeouts)
t&t XL4

Your thoughts, suggestions, anything I might not have considered.
