if your just fishing eyes then i reccomend 10 to 13 lb pancake weights. thats all i,ve used on erie for many years. i have heard a few complaints using them in deep water. i use them down to 65 ft and havent had that 1st problem. i use the 13 and at 1.8 to 2.0 i have very little blow back. i didnt reccomend them for deep water because i,ve never used them over 65 ft.
as for releases i have used many over the years. now i use the chamberlains. set your rod tension however you want it, then set your lure tension to where a crappie will trip it. downriggerrelease.com and watch the video,s. they also have a stacker that is just awesome.

attaching wire to release
do you guys tie the wire like you would do regular fishing line to the release or do you crimp the wire?

Use the hoop and crimp so you don't loose your balls.

which release?
In general, to terminate wire to attach a rigger balls and releases, or to build a short intermediate drop wire section to get more distance between a release or down temp probe to the ball, i would suggest looking at the "Tru Trac Klincher"...small, inexpensive and rock sold connection due to their crimp-less design.
Gander Mountain stocks them but, they usually go fast at $2-3 bucks each
