What to put on my Sabres

Hi Guys,
Back to my Sabre GT5080s-They're 5'6", graphite strokers. Going to build them primarily for YFTs using braid.
The butt, grips and reel seat are taken care of, just the guides remain for a decision. So I'm wondering if you guys can give me some pointers before I ship them in.
The choice for me so far has been narrwed down to AmTac Titan turbos, light weight and sound good with roller top. Or, Fuji BHNBH silicon nitride IIs, these look great and the blurb sounds good and roller top. Or, AFTCO HDs throughout.
AFTCOs I know will do the job, but they rattle and are heavy, however the Titan Turbos, and Fuji BHNBH model I have never seen and I dont know if they are up to the job. So I'm asking you guys if you have any experience with these and are they good for the job on stand ups. Wa'd'ya think ?

Earl,
Another favorite guide that I really like is the Fuji HNSG with SiC rings. I've used them on 50-60 lb rigs without a problem. Or, you could always spend the bucks and get the Winthrops.
