Do you suggest to use a regular sized hackle or should I use a hackle, that is a bit oversized?

Take a dubbing teaser or brush and comb/pick as much fluff as you want. Now take your hackle and twist it up with the dubbing as you re-rope tight. Now wrap your rope and you get segments, fuzz, and hackle all at once. The haclke will have a totally different appearance, like it is really growing out of the body, coming from all angles. The more twists you make with the hackle, the more hackle will show up in the fly. brush the finished fly to getthe full effect of your fluffy dubbing. Try roping different color hackles- nothing else- about four at a time, tips tied down, very tight. Then wrap forwards, holding back the forward-facing tips as you wrap. Instant fuzzy caterpillar. Try roping a hackle with a couple of strands of micro chenille, and wrapping. Another caterpillar.

Do you suggest to use rope-dub with SLF-dubbing - or better dubbing loop for this?
