Cod reel

Time to buy a new cod/haddock reel. Fishing will be in the 150-300' range. I know this has been discussed before in various ways shapes and forms but here goes. Now that there are newer style reels out, I think it's time to replace the old Senator 113H. I also have a Penn 330GTI that will be switched off my jigging rod and put on the bait rod. I am undecided between 4 different reels and want your opinions on each. They are all star drags with more than enough capacity to put a 350yd spool of 65# PowerPro with a 15' 50# mono leader.
In No particular order
1) Shimano Torium 16
2) Daiwa Saltist 35H or 40H
3) Penn Fathom 25N
4) Fin-Nor OFC 16L

I was excited to try a reel with higher speed but after talking and reading some people are happier with the torque of the lower gear ratio. I would say right now I am leaning towards the Penn or the Fin-Nor...what are your suggestions?
