I would go with a smaller diameter line as backing - say15 lb - so it lays smooth and even. I like Suffix, but 50 yards?! Consider loading the longest casting distance you'll make and add 5'-10'. This way when you have to change line, you won't be cutting off that much.
A 2-3' leader is what I always use, which is smaller in diameter than the main line and suited to the lures I casting. The lighter the lure the smaller the line diameter.
Braid is also a good main line due to zero stretch for long distance hook sets.
Uni-to-Uni knot to join lines (4 twists around the circle) - easiest to tie, far less line wasted and never comes loose; uni-to-lure is the only knot I use regardless of lure or hook to be attached.
