Confusion: Are these the right hooks? How many of each size to bring? Can you reuse one after each fish? I have heard a lot of using Mustads for cows. Are they the same quality as the Owners?
4/0 and 5/0 ringed Mutu and Mustad Demon hooks are what I use the most for flylining. Don't forget to bring some "J" hooks too, Mustad Hoodlum and 7691's and Owner Gorillas work for me.

Confusion: How many yards should/can I put on the 50's and 30? Do I need to splice 200# JB hollow on the 50'S? If so why?
Can't help on line capacity but I'd recommend splicing at least 50yds of 200lb Spectra on all 3 of your larger reels for ease of inserting topshots and putting pressure on the fish at the end of the fight. 200lb Spectra has better chafe resistance too.

Confusion: How much should I bring? I read that you should change your topshot after each fish? At $44 and for 15 meters seems pretty expensive to keep changing? Do you use all 15 meters on a topshot?
Tie a short section of Fluro on your 100' mono topshot or make several super short Fluro topshots out of the 15m. At the start of the trip I'd suggest the former.
