reel choice

I'm circling in for a landing on buying a baitcaster...and I'm down to Penn 975, Abu 7500,
Abu 6500c3

Probably 90 % of my fishing is from an 18' CC along the Elizabeth islands & the south side of the Cape in general...drifting or tossing live eels. The rest of it is "opportunity" fishing with plugs from jetty, beach, etc...I don't feel the need to reach the horizon with a cast, will likely mount reel on something under 8 feet, glass more than likely...I think smooth, reliable drag is my main consideration, next is ease of maintenance & minimal maintenance, and, of course, Overall Reliability...
any comments?
