Having once owned a Cabelas "beginners" rod (lost 20 year old Fish Eagle II 18 months ago to the Potomac near Harpers) I suggest you go with the 6 weight line. I think they cast better over-lined by one line weight. You'll be fine for trout and it's serviceable for smallmouth too.
-- Given that nearly all of us fly fishers are gear junkies, it's tempting to carrying as much of your stuff as you might possibly need in the course of a day's outing. Instead of a vest, look at chest packs or sling packs - the greatest danger of a capacious vest is loading it up with too much stuff which you have to walk around with all day and then, worst of all, carry with you on the walk back to the car. ;-)
