If you insist on doing so, go for the 150.
Also, put water in it from the body of water where the fish are from.
Good luck.
i always say the bigger the better

Go test the waters in which you took the fish from.
Make sure you can keep those fish. Many native fish require permits for keeping privately. I would not recommend you keep any of those fish in indoor aquariums. Those fish all are capable of growing quite large, especially the large mouth. If you insist upon keeping those fish, you should actually have a 250 gallon tank bare minimum.
Since these are native fish, you will need to get the fish either from a lake or pond. Local fish and game departments also offer fingerlings of these fish seasonally for stocking approved ponds. I would suggest taking a sample of water from a location known to have these fish and test it for pH, dH, and other pertinent parameters.
Rock bass can be kept in a 75 gallon tank, but of course, the 150 gallon tank would be a wiser choice. Neither the largemouth or the smallmouth will fit in the tank.
IMHO, I would suggest trying sunfish. Green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) will usually stay around 6 inches, with a maximum being close to 10″ or so- and have the personality of a bass.
