I'm a Penn reel fan myself. I like all steel reels like the Battle, and/or the old school spinfisher. If you are on a budget, the Penn Fierce is a good all metal reel under 100 bucks. Why all metal? They won't flex under heavy pressure if you opt to use heavy braid. (like I do) All metal is always better.
