I have used and have owned the sx, the shimano, and the coastal. Shimano ohh they cast really well and have a extremely reliable track record with a good warranty. The abu my favorite has awesome drag and great casting. However you will need to be diligent about cleaning it with the exposed spool. Nothing a little electrical tape cant help. And the coastal at a tad over a buck casts well has decent drag and good line cap. Plus it really puts up to the abuse. Imo abu, daiwa, shimano based on cost. But i money is no object the smimano is the shizz indeed with the revo almost equal.
