Default leader design 4Wt

After many years of using 8wt I just picked up a 4wt rod/line combo and it's time to start making up some leaders. I alwys started with 3' of 30# and tapered down to 4 or 6# tipets for trout, salmon and anything else that would take a fly.
With the 4wt lines I am not sure what size I should make my permanent section , stick with 30# or drop to a 25 or 20# as the permanent section?
Most of my fishing is with hook sizes from 12 to 16 dry, except in the early seasons when I like wets in similar sizes.
I have 2 new lines to rig, both weight forward, #4's , 1 floating, 1 sinking tip.
Any leader sugestions for the light 4 weights?
