Aim for that Z series on ebay. If you're going to use it in the surf my opinion would be that you'll be disappointed with anything else in respect to reliability and longetivity within that price range. I don't think there is currently anything you could buy new in that price range that will perform as well long term in the surf. Z's are still one of the best in the surf and if maintained it will take good care of you for years to come.
As for the rod, check out the "Dolphin" series from Tica. I don't have them in the shop yet but they're supposed to be similar to the TC2 series Tica's except with Fuji guides. Tica has 1 year warranty as well and they often honor it outside of the first year as well.
