Replacing guides on an old rod

I have a few options for guides, but I can only choose one. I can choose from the IM6 rod blank, or a blank with a Fuji K guide already installed. I can also choose from a variety of other rods with IM6 blank and different types of guides. I or someone else could also install a new guide on the existing rod blank.
