Your line should match the weight of your rod and reel so if you are fishing a 6 weight rod you'll want to buy a 6 weight line. As far as the sinking lines the "type" will tell you how fast it sinks. For example, the cortland "type 6" will sink approx. 6 inches per second. That's a fast full sink line. The higher the "type", the faster it sinks.
Cortland, Scientific Anglers and Rio all make a good line. One thing I should mention though...
Don't cheap out on your line. This is the one area you want to spend good money. A reel pretty much just holds the line, even a $70.00 rod will cast fairly well but if you get a crappy line, you won't enjoy the experience. Good luck and I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Doc
