Just picked up a 9' Tica spinning rod (1-3 oz) for $50 off Ebay and need some help picking out a good spinning reel for it. Intent is to have a reel that will enable me to cast lures from the jetty or surf (1-3 oz) and still work as a bait rod with 1-3 oz. I would like to do some live lining with this setup for stripers in the Fall too.
I have checked some of the sites for spinning reels that I think would be a good match up (capacity, weight, price, options). Of the following reels, could you please give my your option on reels that you can honestly vouch for (Reels that you have used). Thanks.

I intend on using 15 or 17 lb mono or 20 lb braid on it. Any special reel that works especially well with braided line?
Not looking for a Van Stall or Shimano Stella reel as I do not have the big bucks.
Thanks again - Haven't bought a new spinning reel since 1986.
