Default Deep Crankin' Question

Ok all, I need a little info. I use a med/fast 7' BPS Crankin' Stick with 12lb P-Line for cranks up to 1/2oz and in the 10 foot range. I have several deep cranks in my box that will overload a med power rod, such as DD-22's, Spro Mad John DD's and Mann 20+. These baits can run up to 1 oz. I am strongly considering a mh/fast Crankin' Stick for the rod, but what test line would you use? I know the 12 would let the cranks run deeper than the 15, but I don't know much about runnin' cranks that deep. My old Shimano 5:1 reel will handle either one.

All the lakes around me are manmade TVA impoundments that are deep and clear and more like rock quarries than lakes. They are 80+ years old and the timber rotted away years ago. The difference between summer full pool and winter drawdown level is 22 to 25 feet, so no vegetation. During the summer the fish can be found at 20-30 feet. What would you use?
