I'm a fan of the rocky mountain large arbor from orvis. It doesn't have the best drag in the world but it does the job reliably. For a few bucks more you can get the battenkill mid arbor which has a great drag. Also you may want to look at a few of cabela's offerings. They're good reels for the money for the most part. The most important thing in my opinion is to find a mid or large arbor reel. You'll appreciate the extra backing/retrieve speed when you tie into a fast, strong fish like a big blue or a bonito.
