{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Suggestions on my first DH rod

Hi all:

I wonder if the if the Sage TCX 7wt 12'6" is a good versatile rod for both salmon/steelhead and surf striper fishing, also potomac? I have xi2 7wt for steelhead and xi2 9wt for striper for couple years, and now I really want to join the DH club. I am not a tall guy and I prefer light rod. Couple years ago, I went to a D-day at the Fletcher's cove, and I felt some spey rods was heavy for me. I was thinking to get a switch rod first, but I remember Don suggested me to consider spey. Anyway, after two-year hesitation, I decided to go spey!

Also, what line setup do you recommend for this rod? 

Can I use the same line setup for both salmon/steelhead and striper?

The largest reel I have is Orvis Hydros large arbor V, 9/10, 8oz. Does it have enough capacity? 

Many thanks!
