Good topic. For me, I'm going with BC, BCP and HSB, and here is my thinking... Catfish are generally bottom feeders, HSB are generally open water feeders, and BCP are generally tight to structure, but you can find them anywhere. You could replace BCP with pretty much any panfish (BG, RES, etc). In my scenario, I could toss out a crappie jig and have it get hammered by a Blue Cat or I can use a chunk of cut bait on a bottom rig and hook into a HSB. As far as catfish go, you need to add spawning structure or else their chance of spawning is slim, but I've seen people recommend "put and take" fisheries for small ponds, where you pretty much only stock species that don't spawn, and then restock annually or bi-annually. I know people generally don't recommend LMB in small ponds, which is why I'm choosing HSB instead, but if you love LMB, then I'd say go for it.
Of course, this could all backfire but I won't know until I try!
