i had a sw1088 for about a year and ended up selling it, it had a good moderate action but just didn't have the "feel" for lack of a better word that I was looking for. ended up getting a lami 1081m and love it. the sw1088 and 1081m are comparable in terms of action and power IMO (moderate, 1-3.5 oz or so casting), the 1081 just has a "crisper" (again for lack of a better term) feel and sensitivity. the batson is significantly cheaper though if I rember right.

the su1087, on the other hand, I really like alot. its great for sluggos and smaller plugs, say up to 2 oz., but doesn't have a ton of backbone. I use it alot earlier in the season and at areas where I don't have to worry about muscleing a fish.
