Abu Garcia vs Lews vs Shimano

I'm looking into getting a Revo SX, Lews Bb1, or Curado baitcaster. Which reel would you get? And what is the most versatile gear ratio?

Curado.
I had a revo for about 8 months before it blew up.

I have a revo inshore and a couple curados. The curados are much better than the revo

Curado e is my all time favorite

Shimano Calcutta for saltwater.

I would get a Revo over the new Curado's. Or get a chronarch. The new curados just feel like shite.

Like most people have said Curado. I have been told to look at the Lews tournament reel, have not bought one yet though.

my cousin just told me about the lews reels....he loves his, give it a shot

Curado, I don't understand why so many people don't like the new ones they work fine for me.

I have the lees and love them . I have 5 that are 3 years old and have never had any issues . They are smooth and long casting . Can't ask for better so far

Revo got one coming in tomorrow

never used a Garcia but last month I bought a shamino citica and a guy I work with bought a Curado. the citica was nice but felt cheap. I did some research and bought a Lew's tournament MG. with 3 cast of the Lew's I knew I wanted to return the citica. I now own 2 Lew's and my coworker has one too. wore out the bass the other week with the Lew's and it worked perfectly. Using the same pole, line and bait, my Lew's casts further and a lot smoother
EDIT: I got the 6.4:1 ratio and I threw big spinners and rattle traps through grass all day.
