It really depends on what type of rod you want to build. Both companies offer types of blanks that the other doesnt. Loomis has a better selection of blanks under 10 feet and vice versa. As far as durability, I would put the Lami GSB series on about the same level as the Loomis, but the Ron Arra blanks tend to be rather fragile, especially the 10 ft L blank. A friend of mine broke two of them and he's pretty careful. Either way, both companies have good warranties.
