Length weight also depends on the manufacture. I have a 10' 8 wt. that is totally comfortable all day, but it is an Orvis upper end.
I do agree with length depending on what you are fishing. I like the 9' to 10' and let's not forget Switch rods (I have a 7 in 13') For distance like big rivers, but need the clearing.
I fish a lot of local river which isn't real wide and I really like 8' and shorter. I am catching Carp and Suckers but they get well above 20 lbs. Easier to land with a shorter rod.
I also have little problem casting 90' with a 7'6" LOL[
