I have used the Penn Battle avg 2x per week for three years during summer, bass to 20lbs, lots of surface stuff, and with light line throws albie snacks well. They are cheap if one goes overboard (100-110), but had to finally get my primary one rebuilt, and for $40 Penn went through it completely, and returned it with the old parts. Like new again.
Next step up I would use the Clash....lovely smooth drag for allies/blues and putting the wood to Blackfish shallow on jigs. John Skinner put me onto that. Good luck! Lots of options out there. Guy I charter with 2-3 times a year uses higher end Shimano stuff, but he has a better grade of fishermen on his boat, most are very experienced.
