I don't know if I can answer that, because I don't know what and where everyone fishes.
For STILLWATERS, I would say 1. Floating 2. an Intermediate or even a Type II 3. A very fast sinking line.
Shooting heads are great for the ONE REEL person, they will give you like four lines in one. Plus allot of people prefer them for rivers.
Like you said, I do have the reels and the spools so my choice is DENSITY COMPENSATED full sinks.
Allot will tell you it is easier to mend a shooting head on a river, but, If I am fishing deep, I really do worry about mending.
All sinking lines from Intermediate on up will eventually hit the bottom, just at times you need it to sink quicker to get past the dinks to the hogs.
Let's not forget the choices in just FLOATING lines. Double Taper, Weight Forward, Triangle, Long Belly, Wind Cutter, etc. It is confusing. If you find one that works well, stick with it, but don't be afraid to try new stuff.
