Hey SSX - you've asked a variation of this question 83 times "I have $100. that i can slap towards a reel, so i'll get the best one w/ what i got- probably the most expensive (but under 100) Abu."
I know I've replied 10 times between posts & PMs to this: 6500TCST. It's a C4 with a power handle and a striper logo (well - different logos depending on where it's sold). Less than $90 + $7 for Smoothie Drag washers. NOT FOUND at SPORTS AUTHORITY (fishing authority they're not), KMART, WALMART, SEARS, none of these non-fishing stores. They are only found at select top ABU retailers, meaning tackle shops that both know their chit AND chose to carry this reel and other better ABU reels...
"like i said, i changed my mind about 10 times on the type of reel i want <spinning or baitcast>"
10 times per day you should have said
... This is what I'll reccomend for you. Get a decent spinning outfit first. Get comfortable fishing the bigger stuff first, then add the more complicated conventional after. This way when, not if, you backlash BEYOND repair - you're not done fishing...
