Great Rod
These are by far my favorite rod for lake fishing. I have this rod set up for using soft plastic baits for small and large mouth bass. never had any issues with them, they have great sensitivity and are strong. I have pulled a lot of bass out of thick cover with these rods.
The only difference is the length and the lure rating. I believe that either rod would work for both of your applications.
