For years I only ran "0" Dipseys with and without the O ring. Lately I have been mixing the "0" and the "1" with and without the O ring. I tell people to use which ever presentation will get the lure or bait to the suspended fish. With the big fish these days you need medium-heavy rods with 20# mono or braided line. You'll be glad you have heavy tackle when a 12 lb steelhead hits. Early on I lost plenty of tackle and dipseys to steelhead by using 17 lb line and thinking it was strong enough. We all use trial and error every day to find what the fish want for breakfast. Good luck out there. I'll be on Ch. 68 the next three days. I'll be listening.....
