{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly line for surf fishing?

Hey All - I'm hoping the TPFR community can give me some advice.  I recently got my hands on a 9-wt. rod and I'm looking for an appropriate fly line.  I intend to fish the surf (east coast) with this outfit.  I doubt I'll be using it in a boat (deeper water) very often, if at all.  My folks go to Cape Cod every once in awhile and I'd like to take the rod along and see what I could hook into (stripers/blues?)  Also, I make a typical trip to the beach every year with friends (anywhere between Delaware and South Carolina) and I'd like to take the rod along so I don't have to just sit on the beach and drink all day... although that's not bad either.  I have no idea what I'd hook into, I just found a hell of a price on a 9-wt. and I figured it would handle a nice range of saltwater activity.

Do you think any of these sale Orvis lines are suitable?  I'll basically be chucking baitfish patterns all the time.  This coastal stuff is totally new to me, so please let me know if I should size up and consider a 10-wt. line.  Thanks in advance for any input.  And if none of these lines are suitable, just let me know.  Just trying to save a buck, if possible.
