I like #1 and #2 gamakatsu octopus hooks. Couple other suggestions when fighting eyes:
1. Don't pump your rod. Hold it out in front of you on a 45 degree angle and just reel steady.
2. If your running braid for your dipsey rods it isn't very forgiving. No need to set the hook like a wild man. You will rip the hooks right out. 220-230 is a super long lead. more line out = more opportunities for fish to get away.
Only fished an hour this morning and boxed three before the sheer pin on my bowmount busted into three pieces. Sending me home early to make repairs for tomorrow.
