What would be a good hops choice for a biab smash beer?

I like Maris otter and Citra or Cascade.
Vienna/Mosaic
This isn't an answer but I find it amusing when brewers ask for a BIAB recipe as if the recipe would be any different using other all grain methods. The question is the same regardless of the method (I think....)
Another $0.02 worth of my advice;
Don't get hung up on the published 'use' of the hop, i.e. bittering vs aroma. One of my very favorite SMaSH's to do uses lots of Columbus in the last 20 minutes all the way to flame out.
Columbus is pretty widely accepted as a dual purpose hop these days. I've often wondered what a Warrior or Magnum SMaSH would taste like, but I don't really want to have a whole 5 gallons of it
I used 2 oz at 60min 2 oz at 5 min and 2 oz at flameout . What was your hop schedule and how did it turn out? I just bottled mine yesterday and can't wait to try it out..
