What line test would be good for Cod, strippers, flounder plus using multiple jigs for blue fish?

Would 50lb. Copolymer be ok?

I can't remember if I used 50 or 60# 35 years ago.

On a party boat it pays to use inexpensive mono line, that's what they use.  Reason being lines always get tangled, if the tangle can't be untangled quickly the line will be cut.  One may no realize but drifting causing line twist even on a conventional reel, I'd probably use 40# mono.  I have used in the past Shakespere  supreme mono, like 3-5 bucks, works just fine.

As I said on the last thread you inquired, I'd be using their equipment as they are perfectly set up.  I'd use my equipment only if went out on these boats on a weekly basis, not one time outing.

I'll give you a little advice, don't undermine the mate, he knows more about fishing out there than we will ever know, he does this for a living.

I use western filament tuf-line XP braid in 80# with a 15ft 50# mono leader, other than changing the leader due to nicks and abrassions I've had the same line on for 4yrs just rinse it off after every trip, no issues and I deep sea fish at least once a wk.
