First things first if its not a Fly Rod its just a pole.
I would go with 6"8 because when I pulls enough line when your deep or shallow and it fits in most lockers on boats Ive fished in to many boats were the locker will supposedly fit a 7 foot pole and thats if your lucky let alone a 7foot plus.
Now if your only going to be fishing on your boat then fine go for the longer pole.
But I fish on many a friends boat so I keep my rods a little shorter I own a couple 7 plus but they stay in my boat.
Well good luck
