I’m looking at getting a quality rod for panfish, crappie, trout, and whatever else will eat a micro lure. I’m stuck on whether I should go for a light, or ultra light rod. I mostly fish from the bank and want to use mostly micro cranks/jerks, jigs w soft plastics, and the occasional bobber with live bait. What are the pros and cons to light and UL, rod series really liking the St Croix if anyone has personal experience with either

I would go with light action, just in case you hook into something you’re not prepared for. Take a look at the muskie in my avatar. I landed her with a POS light action rod and reel I grabbed out of my buddy’s boathouse while I was waiting to help him pull his pier out after we got back from duck hunting. Not sure I could have done it with an UL. You will still enjoy catching panfish and trout.
