Default Diawa Sealine 600H or Offshore Angler Captains Choice 6/0

Ok, so now I'm looking at reels to go on my new sharking rod I just got. Does anyone have any experience with BPS Offshore Angler Captain's Choice? Or should I just stick with a Diawa Sealine? I'm thinking maybe kicking in a little of my own $$ and getting a 600H or a 900H. Just from the pictures, the OA reels appear to be a little cheap looking. Or maybe the Shimano TLD25....Ok, so lets hear it.....

I'm rather partial to the Penn 115L loaded with 60# plus.

I've become partial to the shimanos over the past few years. TLD-25 is a nice lever drag reel. I own a tekota 800, which I absolutely love, also nice.

I've got the Captains Choice for my Charkin rod. I like it just fine, I've got braid as backing and about 300 yards of mono on the top for a total of around 600 yds. It might not be the best but for the amount of Charkin I do it's just fine. Seems they always hit the casted rods for me anyway and if I can land it on a 25 lb setup then the OM should be fine.
