I got the Saragosa 18000 for birthday from wife this year, compromise on the Stella. Very happy so far, but hasn't really been tested.

Im geussing by the reels
Im geussing by the reels mentioned about $300. The stradic doesnt come in anymore than an 8000 size i think, so im not sure thats what you're after.
Saltist is a good reel for popping, saragosa is better for jigging/bottom bashing with a slightly slower gear ratio. Spheros has similar specs to the saragosa, just a slightly cheaper offering. That's just the offerings from Daiwa and Shimano, deffinately have a look at the new Salina from Okuma, they have a solid reputation. Quantum is another brand that i find myself using their reels a lot, I'm sure they'd have some reel in the class and price range you're looking at, I have a Quantum energy that's landed some rather large fish and been flogged on a locked drag and never missed a beat, it's a fantastic piece of kit.
