Default Which Hardy reel?

Which Hardy reel (and why) would you pick to fish for trout on a midweight

JLH Ultralite" and the "Viscount Mark 3 Large Arbor?

I own the first two. I would go with the Golden, because it has a palm
flange. If you are targeting any fish that might make runs, rim control
is handy. There was a guy on ebay that was selling brand new Goldens
left and right, about 3 per week. I bought two - one for a 5 and one
for a 7. Maybe he has more. Can't imagine where he came upon such a
motherlode of unused stock.
