Default Egg Sinkers or Mushroom Weights

I am going to make some modified Texas rigs for my marsh spread this year. I leave my spread of 150-200 decoys out all season. I hunt a point at the edge of open water so wave action can be pretty intense at times. Our bottom has a layer of silt and then is fairly sandy. Water depth ranges from 4-6" to 2' depending on the amount of rainfall. I have been using railroad spikes and oil field scrap that range from 7 ounces to 14 ounces. I am tired of rerigging decoys every year or two and I will be using 400 lb mono with either a snap or swivel to attact the decoy to the line.

With that information, would you recommend egg sinkers or mushroom weights? Would 8 ounce be enough?

Just looking to do this right the first time. Thanks for the input.
