I charge $180 all said and done for rainshadows. I use fuji hardloy guides which are decent guides and cost effective, and single wraps to cut down on weight. Number and placement of guides all depends on the individual blank. On rainshadows I think I use 9 guides, I'd have to check. Trigger seats are a good idea on any rod which you'll be palming the reel, I use fuji trigger seats. And as for handles, hypalon seems to be a good option for swimbait rods as long as they're shaved down enough to reduce weight. Another option is cork, but most guys prefer the comfort of hypalon for the big baits. Email me with any other Q's.
