When we line breed we generally breed towards one dog "or" one cross that we consider to have been exceptional. A couple of crosses that have worked better for me are if it is one dog I want to line up on is a half brother sister cross with the common parent being the one you are lining up on, then if you can breed one from that litter to an aunt or uncle by the same individual originally intended of course the other half of each one used should be of good quality and even in the same family.
If breeding towards a specific cross I have had luck with uncles and aunts bred to nieces or nephews then breed one of those pups back to one of the original littermates making a grand uncle or aunt to grand nephew or niece, getting as many of the original littermates in the ped as possible. If you make an outcross that pleased you "whether it was another breed or another strain within the breed" breed those pups back into their respective strains and evaluate the 3/4 blood pups that will give you an idea which side of the outcross was actually doing you the most good.
I'm not telling anyone how to do things at their house but it has helped me at mine.
