I just went and looked at some other sites to see what I could find on the 555. It actually seems to get really good reviews from a lot of people. The people that complained (which is what I remembered when the line came out) complained about line memory. That is, the line would coil really bad after being stored on the reel. That being said, they said they could stretch it out and straighten it fairly easily. I haven't had any personal experience with that line, I just had remembered reading some negative press on it when it first came out. There's also a lot of positive press, though.
If you get an Avid, I'd go with a Rio Grand or Scientific Angler's GPX for a line. I haven't cast the TICR, but they're extremely popular, as are all the TFO rods.
Cast them all, and go with what you like the best.
