Everyone seems equally satisfied with all of them. Sanyo is the cheapest. I have two of them, and they work just fine for me. Shimano is probably the best overall in value and quality. I gather the Sanyo makes a bit more drag, but honestly, drag isn't a problem with my Sanyos. SON and SP are more expensive and lighter and make less drag, and, of course, they cost more.
