A 7' M crankbait rod

A 7'6 MH crankbait rod

a 6'6 M xf spinning rod

I will be purchasing one of these when I go home for the summer, and technique specific tackle. (deep cranks, dropshot terminal tackle, or more shallow-med cranks depending on my decision)

I have very limited time at home(3 weeks in the middle of summer). It seems to me that that justifies a deep cranking or spinning rod (fishing hot). I don't own a crankbait rod, so maybe a M would be better for all around use? I currently have a 5.4 reel w/o a rod, and a spinning reel on a rod I don't like. I am not going to list models/reels because I don't want to get into that. My question to you is: which setup would you purchase if you were in my shoes.

Because it might be important:

what I own right now

6'6 MH 6.3 -carolina/texas/jig

6'6 MH 6.3-same, but rigged different from 1st

5'6 M 7.1-spinnerbaits, jerkbaits

7' MH spinning(6.2)-shakey heads, skipping

I will give my choice, with the disclaimer that it is exactly that. I would add a crankbait rod to the mix. My first choice would be 7' or longer in the 1/4-3/4 range. This will cover a wide variety of treble hooked baits. A longer crankbait rod in the 3/8-1+ range would be my choice if big, deep divers is your main choice in lures. Good luck.
