I guess one main thing to consider in selecting a rod is what type of flies you will be using. There are probably more flies that you will be fine with using a lighter rod. The only flies that you would need a 7 or 8 wt rod with are deer hair poppers. They are very big and wind resistant.
Any type of wooly buggers, streamers, small poppers, etc you would be fine with a 5 or 6.
I will warn you, you will most likely end up with several rods if you enjoy it. I currently have around 18, I believe. One for most scenario. I only have one that is longer than 9 ft and its a two handed rod.
