Get the VS.
From my experiences they cant be beat.
Ive had mine for 5 years, no issues. My 250 did have a bad seal and get some water inside, they took care of it, it was covered under warranty.
I dunk my reels and generally beat the hell out of my gear, for the money there the best deal.
You can find really good deals on a used one, look around.
if you buy it new make sure they spool it up for you for free, most places will. The place I bought mine did.
I got my 275 from this site used. But its literally brand new and not a scratch on it, you would never know it was used if it wasnt for the braided line on it.
The Z has alot of changes and redesigns. I know about 14 people personally that have them and theyve ALL had issues. Most of them have sold off their Z reels and gone back to the VS.
Thats my 2 cents.
