I have an Avenger, Hardstone, and an Alumina. All are good quality reels with smooth drag systems and they are comfortable to use. Just choose your size model accordingly. IMO you can't go wrong with an Okuma spinner for the price. I have a Trion too and when that thing breaks I'll replace it with another Okuma.

All I use are Shimano Symetre's. I have tried a lot of reels and haven't found any that come close, unless you go up in price.

Right now, when I use spinning It's either a Pflueger President, or a Quantum Energy. I am a diehard shimano baitcaster user, but for some reason I have never bought their spinning reels. The Quantums have worked great for me, although they are heavy sob's.
Pflueger for the money is hard to beat, especially if you buy it from Doug :-)

I fished Shimano spinning reals since i was a kid, but I have recently traded them in for Pfleuger Presidents on my drop shot rods. I also have a couple Mitchel's that I consider good for the money (not as smooth as the Pfleuger but are great for when i take my 4 yr old niece trout fishing).

I've had my hands on a couple Arbors. Without a doubt, this will be my next purchase.

Shimano STL2500FE - great value.

You should go with what you can afford comfortably and what feels best to you. You can ask peoples opinions but you are the one that has to use it. I personaly like okuma, but tried others before I decided on them. Your. fishing gear must be your choice to fit you not someone else's choice.Your gear must feel right to so you have confidence in it. just my opinion.

The only thing funnier than the $729.00 price tag, is the guy who back-reels with it.

That's one of those "if I win the lotto" things to buy. I bet it's nice, but you can buy 12 sedonas, or 2-3 loomis rods. Or an HDS5, or a trolling motor, or...

Pflueger President. I do like the okumas mentioned as well, but I think they are a little heavier than necessary.
