Dirty Jigs Matt Stefan Guppy is my favorite.  Comes in 1/0 and 3/0 hooks and 1/8 oz-3/8 oz

You want the wire 'hook' style keeper.  I'm not a fan of screwlocks...

Keitechs are my bread and butter on tough bites, the one problem I have tho is they constantly are sliding down my hook after every other cast. Almost makes me want to switch lures after fixing it 10 times. I was thinking of superglueing them to the head of the jig but maybe someone has a suggestion for a better jig head that has a baitkeeper on it? The ones i currently use are just cheap ballhead jigs from my local tackleshop. I typically run 1/8oz to 1/4 oz, aswell as both the 3 inch and 3.5 inch baits

3.3 Keitech fats, 3" - 3.5" Keitech easy shiners. Hard to beat a DG Matt Stefan guppy head for this size. 3/0 for 3.3-3.5". 1/0 for 2.8-3" No jighead is going to have a perfect keeper to keep the material of these Keitechs locked for preferred length of time. I would still use glue when you want to. A gel glue like gorilla gel glue.

 

If you haven't tried and you like underspins for certain situations, try these gammys for an underspin. Wicked hook. Excellent gap and bend to keep to stick them and keep them pinned.

If you're talking 3.8 and higher, their are better options. Some of those options have been mentioned.

I throw 3.8 keitechs on the owner flashy swimmer 3/16oz size I believe. Anything smaller is usually on a 1/8oz ballhead jig.

Size 2 is excellent, 3 will work just fine, but I wouldn't go bigger.    

 

I run 2s on the 3.25 Rage Swimmers which are very close to a 3-3.5 keitech 

 

I run 3s on the 3.5-4.5 similar swimbaits.      

*I believe you mean 2/0 , 3/0 , etc. 

I like these : https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/VMC_Hybrid_Swimbait_Jig/descpage-VHSJ.html in 3/16th oz. and 1/4th oz. for the 3.3" and 3.8" sweet spot  Keitech  Fat Swing Impact.

J-Will heads have always worked well for me.
