With a LMB heavy pond, all 12" or less, I would try and get the LMB population thinned out before stocking anything less than 6" BG or RES. The 4" ones would become very expensive fish food quickly. It'd be a shame to spend $$ on them only to be made into fish food.
Once the LMB population is thinned out, I would try and stock both. BG will provide for more YOY forage, while the RES will help diversify the pond and help control invertebrates, but they don't have the fecundity that the BG have.
