Problem is i dont know anyone who has used either one...........is there anybody out there who has anything good/bad/other to say about them.

not sure what the price range is on the quantum and okuma but they can't be more than 130. if your looking for something somewhat durable and not too pricey you should put some thought into the shimano spheros. i used the 4000 last year for the spring and just bought the 8000 version for this season. the 4000 held up nicely and was very smooth. internal components are very similar to the penn slammer. easy to maintain. nice reel for $109, i think. braid friendly.

it's no vs but i expect to haul in some cows with it.
