I don't know anything about the encounter combo. Orvis is gear so it's hard to go wrong. Keep an eye on some the fly fishing forums, lots of good deals out there.
I just made the switch over to the Orvis Ignition fly line. It's got a short front taper making it load quickly. Awesome line for quick shots inside of 50-60 feet.
I fish from a paddle board from time to time. Kayaks and SUP's are awesome for sight casting. Learn to stand up in your kayak, height is everything. If you're going to fly fish for reds from a kayak I recommend getting rid of all unnecessary crap out of your kayak and don't be afraid to leave the spin gear at the house. I liked to use a push pole or stand up paddle board paddle when I fished out of a kayak. I put a little foam tape on the gunwales so when I sat my paddle down to take a shot at a fish I didn't make any noise.

I was debating between the Clearwater and Encounter last year as well. Let me tell you, the Clearwater is really worth the extra money. It is much lighter and doesn't wear your arm out throwing it all day.
As for reel, I first went with the Clearwater reel and it served me just fine. I recently upgraded to the Hydros because I have been chasing bigger reds with it.
Like someone said before, you really need to worry about your rod first, line second, and reel last.
