I'm a shimano fanboy. I don't have an experience with Abu's

I got an Abu Ora inshore for 90$ at academy. It's been flawless for about a year now and I yak fish regularly. I had a mettle but the anti reverse kept going out so I upgraded. I would also look at the bps pro qualifier as previously suggested

From experience, anything cheaper than the Revo S will end up giving you problems with the worm gear/levelwind at some point with heavy use. And if you're gonna spend that money, just get a shimano curado, they handle salt better.
That's talking low profile reels, which I prefer. The round Abu reels seem to hold up to salt fine if you take care of them. All my dad uses. None of us fish salt a whole lot though, handful of times a year, a little more than that some years. Take it FWIW
