Yo man, that's a good question. A lot of guys in SoCal flip and pitch a bit different than the NoCal guys do. But many guys do and use what the NoCal guys use with success. But I think everytning depends on the cover and fish size your going for. If flipping isn't my main approach when I'm out on the water, that's factor too. During cold water where your not using a whole lot of different approaches, pork trailers are a good choice for jig trailers. During warmer water(more active fish) I like to use Yamamoto twin tails and cut the tails to get the right amount of trailer action/movement the fish want. A lot of guys just use the twin tails year round and cut'em. Brush hogs make really good trailers for BIG FISH. Just experiment and find what you have the most confidence in and the fish WILL tell you what they want. Try this link, the site moderator Rob puts it best about jig trailers here;

As for T-rigged plastics, my favorites are the Baby Brush Hog and Sweet Beaver. I've had a huge amount of success on the Baby Brush Hog, and lots of guys are in love with the full size Brush Hog down here. I like the Baby a bit more bcz I pitch to tullies more in the spring and summer than I flip big baits in heavy cover. But my new favorite bait is the Sweet Beaver. This thing can be used in so many different ways! And the colors are just friggin' cool!I can put a 1/2 oz weight on it and get waayyy back in heavy cover or I can put it w/ a 1/8oz and pitch it to docks and tullie clumps. It's also an awesome jig trailer for me and you can also fish it BACKWARDS w/ no weight! Tubes and lizrds can be awesome too. Color doesn't usually matter, just have a light, a medium and a dark color for each bait, you should be good.

Bass + Fisherman= BAASS ADDICTT!!!
