Pflueger. I have a Shiimano Symetre and a Pfluger President XT (now discontinied) both in 4000 size - and like both of them, but like the Pflueger a lot more. The Shimano's are all graphite now, and I'm one of those folks who have thrown a rod down in order to land a fish. It would make me sick to drop a 180+ Stradic on it's rotor and crack it.
Customer service has been A+ for both brands, but I'll give an edge to Pflueger. I mangled a tiny spring when removing the rotor and they sent two springs to me, overnight delivery, absolutely for free.
If I remember correctly, the Shimano Sahara, Symtre, Saros and the rotor of the Stradic are all full graphite now, and I just don't trust graphite with the way I treat gear. I'm not bad on it, and it made me sigh when I got the first scratch on the Pflueger, but neither am I goning to watch a fish swim off because I was looking for a place to gently lay down the rod and reel.
On the other hand, the graphite reels aren't going to corrode if used in saltwater.
The Pflueger President XT (and now the Purist) are lower cost reels with carbon fiber drag systems that dissipate heat rapidly and don't slip when wet. The Shimano's use a waterproof drag system made from a proprietary material. Both brands have top-rated drags and are very consistent, easy to adjust, and reliable.
There are a lot of fine reels at less than $100 - in that $80 to $100 slot. And most will balance well with the Clarus rod (damned good rod at any price, BTW). Lots of people like the Stradic, but in addition to having too much plastic/graphite, they cost $180+.
