Nick,
FWIW, I own both reels and here's my take on them. For a short jigging rod like the OTI, where I'll be using a mechanical jigging motion, I prefer a narrow reel like the 665N or 665NN. I like the narrow reels both because they're easy to palm while jigging and there is little or no line lay issues. For a longer jigging rod, a wide spool is no problem. My Alu 12 is on a 6'6" CosmoTech CT661TUNA POWER KEVLAR for grouper and tuna jigging (for this season at least).
So, for the rod you're trying to match to, go narrow all the way.
