For safety reasons, I'd say stick with the longer ones...

If your fishing mono, detection should not be too much of a problem unless there is some chop on the water and the boat is rolling. There's plenty of stretch in mono so crank'er down, but leave some play.

Super braid... I would just back off a little.

What type of rods you running? This definitely could be a factor.
