What's on your rod?

Based on your personal experiance, who makes the stongest, smoothest, most reliable reel on the market. I know myself, i've used many reels from every manufacturer that has ever existed. And I don't pussy-foot around with them either, I really lay down the mustard on them. Penn has always made a very strong outfit, even the cheaper models are reliable, they're just not as smooth as some other brands. Over-all, i'd say Abu Garcia makes about the best product on the market, and has been since the first Abu was created. They are smooth and consistent. I've always believed that all reels are high quality, and if taken care of, will last generations. However, all reels are not created equal, and I believe that Abu Garcia is leading the pack.
