I think you will like your zbone; at least I do. it fishes like a 7ft rod because of the balance and low weight and as I posted is ultra sensitive on the light bite in my hand. My guess is you will think this rod great with a 3/8oz total weight rig.
On the light 1/4oz jig I will normally have a small trailer that actually puts this rig at closer to 3/8oz and I will use a NRX 893. I'd recommend you search for this rod on the board or google it. I think what you find will surprise you. Further, I don't think you will find much info on the other rods you are considering.
on your HE3 7H. Don't own it but bet at times I'd be fishing 5/16 total weight rigs around grass and cover with it. With the right reel (Met MGL for example) I can pretty much fish anything I care to on my 7'3H HE3. By the same token, I think you will find most guys fishing open water with a 1/4oz jig are using Medium power rods. my point is that you will see many differences of opinion and where and how we fish seems to be a key reason if you did down deeper into why someone said something

Met MGL XG - US model if you will be using heavy FC, Japan import works great with braid or lighter FC. I really like the braid though on the Met.
