My 586-4 is my go to rod (now I'm really stoked about now that I know it's JC's and LF's 5wt of choice). On my better days there's nothing I can't do with it, at other times I would be better off with something more forgiving(that's not to dis that rod, only my inconsistent casting). Versatile and smooth are the two word that come to mind.

If you are thinking about an LL, check out the VPS light-- same blanks as the LLs but with down-graded hardware.
