XMG 9'-0" 9wt guide spacing

I purchased an ET 108 9 fly rod blank (XMG 50 9'-0" 9wt) and would like to know the preferred guide spacing. Am using Fuji TLNSG size 12 and 16 stripping guides, Recoil RSFX size 6 single foot snake guides (8 total) and Reccoil RTTUL XL tip top.
Thanks
Chris

This is what we use. Spacings

This is what we use.
Spacings are in inches from the tip.
4, 9, 15 1/8, 21 1/2, 28, 35 3/4, 43 3/4, 53 3/8, 63, 75 1/8

I am getting ready to order

I am getting ready to order out this blank, ET1089 w/ REC RFTS15FVB reel seat

a #16 and #12 TLNSG Fuji Titanium alloy frame for the stripper guides then , then the Fuji Hopkins and Hollloway Titanium finish snake guides + matching tip top

going to go with the above spacings, do you think 3mm, HTS3s all the way, will be sufficient for this blank, or maybe 4,4,3,3,3....

also could you recommend a gudebrod thread color that is closest to the ET1089 blank color...

thanks
