The weight, action and line is more determined by the type of fishing you enjoy and the size of the fly. Skill is also a factor.
Bull trout for example are generally fished with fairly large streamer type flies. IMO a fairly fast 8 wt with a weight forward line is ideal however if you want this rod to double duty as big dropper rig and/or a sink tip or full sink rig, a medium or full flexing rod might serve you better.
A 4, 5 or 6 would generally be considered a good all around trout rod for the other trout. The rest of it depends on who you talk to.
