i used the 0, 90, 180 method (simple spiral?) and have been very pleased with it. I haven't noticed any issues with casting or line piling up on one side of the reel.

I used fuji alconite concept guides:
Guide 1: BLNAG 12j 0*
Guide 2: BLNAG 7j 90* bumper
Guide 3: BLNAG 10j 180*
BLNAG 8J
BLNAG 7J
BLAG 7J
BLAG 6J
.....
Tip

i just used standard spacing and placed the bumper guide halfway between the 1st and 2nd guides (assuming traditional guide placement).
