Okuma Titus t20L

Anyone have any experience with these reels?
Thinking about getting a couple for the boat.
Either these or penn 330LD or Shimano TLD20.

Any suggestions?

I don't have the Okuma's but I will give a plug for the Shimano TLD for quality and longevity. I know the TLD beats the Penn IMO.

I refuse to comment on Penn reels after 4 recent incidents in the same shop.

I would go with all TLDs form the start.
Once you fish the two, you will wish you just had the TLD's.
I'm not impresed with OKUMA at all. THey might have certain reels that are OK, but as a whole, I wouldn't buy one again.
Just my 2 cents.
