Go for the best shimano you can afford and you wont be disappointed.
I've heard good things about the fox reels too but have used shimano's for over 20 years now and never been let down by one

Have read some good things about those windcast Z models from both carp and sea fisherman, that would be the model I'd go for. With the Long distance casting spool and Quick drag.
