Basically the same reel with less than an ounce difference in weight between the 200 (21.6 oz) and the 250 (22.4 oz). 250 has a larger spool (by 1/4 inch) which will help with casting distance. 200 has a lower line retrieve ratio (33.5 inches per turn) than the
250 (36.5 inches per turn) which would be advantageous for slowly retrieving eels. Have you considered going "old school" with cork tape handle and electricians tape - will provide more sensitivity for eeling IMO.
Both reels will work fine without any major deviations when building your stick.

another vote for 250.

I like the plate type-seat with tape. warmer, lighter and thinner than the alumninum locking seats...
