I can't compare the PST's with the BGJP, but don't think you could go wrong with the ozarks. I have 8 of the 16's ozarks for pushing minners. But I can say that i have never had any problems with my PST's pulling cranks. Bought em new 3 years ago and still have the same tips.

Picjed up a 12 in a BGJP and it seems to be stouter than the PSTs. Also got a pair of 8s in it as well and they definately have a better tip than the PSTs. they load up more when pulling but have just as much backbone once you get a fish on.
If I were pulling six off the side in a rig shorter than 20 foot I would run Ozarks 2/14s, 2/10s, and 2 of the BnM 410s, thats a stout little rod.
