I honestly think if you are in or around the $100 price range you can't go wrong with the Shimano Spheros 8000. I have been using these almost exclusively for a couple of years. They are tough, sturdy and have a great drag system, for the $$ I don't think you can do any better. I just rinse them off with fresh water and put them away. Every now and then I break them down and give them a good lube/cleaning. I can't say enough good things about them.
Others may chime in... a lot of guys I know use them.
