I wont disagree with FG or DR on the wt rod to use..but I can tell you an less expensive route on getting yourself setup so you can switch out from a floating to a sinking line and that is buy a reel with interchangeable spools..
thru the advice and assistance of our own FG I bought an Orvis Rocky Mountain Turbine Reel with a spare spool (to accomodate a sinking line) and got both for well within the price range you say you want to spend on a combo...
Here is a link to the orvis site and that reel:
