IMHO, make sure your spool has enough line to bag off from your max depth rather than ascend to a depth suitable for the amount of line you have available.
In my experience UK skippers would rather see all bags ascending from the wreck and then drifting off rather than bags popping up in different places after divers have ascended to 20M etc.
Probably not textbook DIR but realistic for UK conditions, I use a reel for main deployment and a 40M spool for backup and for bridging wrecks, line laying penetration etc.
