I've loved my trini20 and 30 but I'm more and more impressed by my saltigas. If you compare them side by side you'll feel that the saltiga is much more solid. I've also noticed that the adjustable clicker on newer trinidads doesn't adjust as much as the old ones and is somewhat useless for bigger/weighted baits.

I have a pair of saltists that I'm not overly happy with. Decent, but not as bulletproof as I'd like. I've heard similar complaints about the toriums.

Sealines are good for the money, but once you've gotten used to infinite anti-reverse it's hard to go back.

I started with leverdrags for the obvious reasons. However, I've never found a lever drag that will go more than 5-10 trips without getting gummy. I like equipment I can beat the hell out of and not worry about. Trinidad and Saltigas are the only high end reels I can say that about, though if Corey's right perhaps an accurate is worth a look.
