Not many reels which will take "dunkings" like a man, and those are very costly.

The slammers are as solid as most. As far as the China thing, unless you have major issues regading "Made In America", they are made to the same specifications/blueprint as the ones which were made in USA, save for any annual changes/upgrades. You can also canvas tackle shops to see if they have any leftover slammers which were made in the USA.

I love Shimano, but the "white" ones, the stradic's, do not take the saltwater enviroment real well, much less dunking. I use them and slammers, but I always need to really clean-up the stradic after each use, but I really do like it as well! The spheros is the Shimano for saltwater, they are slightly heavier than the others though (I believe, check the spec's.)
