9 foot 8 weight Sage Launch with a vintage Hardy St. John reel.  I alternate swinging flies with my clear sinking tip with 3 feet of 10 pound flourocarbon leader, or dead drifting with a floating line with an indicator and a couple of small split shots.

Currently using a 10' 6" Fenwick Lamiglass GSH1262MH with refurbished Avon Royal Supreme  .

Also have an 11' 3" Hanson "Light Steelhead" with sliding reel seat that I fill with either a Hardy, The Silex, or an Ambassadeur 6500CA.

The OP is asking about CASTING setups, not fly setups.
It would be nice to extend the original poster the courtesy of actually reading their opening post before answering a question.

It would be nicer to extend the OP the courtesy of trying to convert them to the only way to cast.

Actually Milo, perhaps YOU should read the opening post. The original poster says he decided on a casting setup, what is YOUR current set-up.

Deciding on a casting set-up myself .... what is your current set-up for steelhead?

Brand, rod length/size, reel type etc 

I choose to CAST my centerpin or CAST my spey rod
