At +/- $150 with an equal quality spare spool, and still manufactured in Japan, I think the Stradic is the biggest bang for your buck today, now that Penn has discontinued the 7-- Spinfishers.
I used to avoid anything Quantum (think Zebco) like the plague. But, they've made great strides in quality in the last 3-4 years, and I hear a lot of good things about the Cabo series.
