With the baitcasters I run a minimum of 65lb stealth, 80lb if I have it. Nearly impossible for my clients to bury backlashes with that line.

Everyone has their way, don't think there is a really a right or wrong to it. I feel the baitcasters are a little more efficient while reeling big lures with lots of resistance and I seem to have the most control over putting a cast where I want with them.
If I were guide and had clients unfamiliar with them they would be about the last thing I'd use. I still get the odd backlash once in a while and I got my first one when I was 10 or 11
