What's your preference for an all-around jig and soft plastics reel, 6:1 or 7:1?

Generally your dragging a jig or worm...so Gear ratio is more for after the hookset... so a fast retrieve will help prevent the fish from getting unbuttoned or keep it comming out of cover.

You can always reel slower it's hard to reel faster
