This is all relative to multiple variables.
When fishing spotties I would stay with 1/2oz or less. This is dictated by depth of water and line size for me. Unless you are fishing SD Bay, you shouldn't need to worry about the fall rate as the other bays are shallow. SD Bay I will go up to as much as 1oz when fishing sandbass in the deeper water.
When fishing calicos there are a lot of variables but similar to the bays. Head size for me is always dictated by depth of water. Shallow to 20 feet I will fish 3/4oz-1oz, 20-50 feet 1oz-1.5oz, and 60 plus 1.5oz and up. Heavier line and strong currents will always having me using on the heavier side.
I fish both boat and kayak and see myself using on the heavier side when fishing from a boat. The kayak you seem to have a little more control and can fish a little lighter.
