This thread has got flame all over it. IMO it is personal choice. Reels have advanced to a point now where both work fine for casting.
For other types of fishing (trolling, chumiming, etc) or the use of special lines conventional is the way to go. I was brought up on fishing the surf using a convential, but use spin most of the time now. When I am in a boat....I like to use conventional gear...go figure.
I suggest you try both and use what fits your style of fishing.
