Do you like to run 32 lb or 45 lb coppers?

I run 45 lb copper but have to respool one of my copper reels because I had a nasty tangle. The 32 lb copper runs almost as deep as the 45 lb copper according to Blood Run Tackle’s depth chart and is supposed to be a little more user friendly. Now I’m entertaining the thought of switching over to 32 lbs copper on my reels. 

I think most guys are probably using 45 lb copper but I could be wrong. Is anybody using 32 lb copper and having good results from it?

I run 32 and just use weights ahead of it if I need to get it deeper later in the season.
