Finding ortholog transcript sequences after de novo transcriptome assembly

Dear all,

I would like to ask a question about "finding the ortholog transcripts", especially after de novo trancriptome assembly. We have a number of transcript files (assembled with Trinity) and are trying to find ortholog transcript sequences with CDS sequences of eight fish species downloaded from Ensemble ftp (http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html).

Although there is a good explanation in the Biostar Community (for example; What Is The Best Method To Find Orthologous Genes Of A Species?), most of explanation are relevant with genomic sequences. Can I use (i) Reciprocal Best Hits with Blast, (ii) OrthoMCL or (iii) inparanoid for such a purpose? Or would you suggest me another turnkey solution?

Many thank in advance for all your suggestions,

Seems the Biostar community has had some trouble with Inparanoid software, so maybe start with OrthooMCL or RBH.
